Hey guys, i was just wondering if you would know the install prices of mods and bolt ons for a 99 civic ex. I just want to make sure the shop i go to is not trying to rip me off when i get the stuff installed. If you could like make a list of stuff you've had installed that would be cool. Like exhaust, fuel, ignition, pistons, cams, flywheel, turbo or anything that would be helpfull, thanks a million.

first...if it's bolt on...and you have some jack stands and some tools at home...save some money and do it yourself..it's fun...you learn a little about your car...and you don't have to pay someone to do it...make sure there's some one around when doing this if you are goin gto do it just incase.....as for paying someone to do stuff...I don't know...I never have...:D

so far, i've installed all these by myself: intake, header, exhaust. cams, cam gears, Integra Type R throttle body, hks super afr computer, msd btm, magnecor wires, msd cap, CRV crankshaft pulley..things i had a shop do: install supercharger, port and polish, port-matched supercharger manifold, port-matched, header...just go out and by a Helms and learn how to do all the "bolt-on" stuff yourself...save your money...
