Default spoiler install

i just bought the oem wing spoiler for my car. this is my baby so the 'just install it yourself' posts are worthless to me.
does anyone know of a reputable location i can get this installed. will a honda dealer install this. anyone know approximately what i should be charged for this install? thanks, as always!

Please Don't take it to a dealer most are hacks IMO.

Any reputable body shop should be able to handle that, maybe 2 hours labor?

A dealer charges 2 hours labor for a deck lid spoiler install, so a wing would probably be the same or slightly less in complexity. They also change out the trunk springs to more powerful ones (to compensate for the extra weight of the spoiler) and that takes a special tool which adds to the DIY cost.

Any Honda Dealer should be able to take care of that for you.

The install time is 1 to 2 hours and typical dealer labor is $80 to 90 per hour.

SodaKing- I'd be willing to do it for half of what the dealership charges.

My word. I'm pretty sure a couple folks on here can vouch for me. And as gfactor stated, it's a straight-forward install.

And if you don't feel comfortable with that, Hardtopguy will probably be coming down to my place again in the near future.

sorry it's nothing against you...i'm just so worried that something could go wrong...don't want four holes off centered or the trunt not working correctly. i'm willing to pay a little more for the piece of mind that i know i can bitch at someone if i'm not pleased with the results. don't take offence to my comment
