if that includes an auto to manual conversion then you got a pretty good deal

the price seems a little high, but then again, if you let anyone else do the work, you end up paying a shitload.

You haven't been *ripped off* per say... I'd say youre alright... :dunno:


BTW: enjoy the LSD, really thats what justifies the price :goodjob:

BTW2: ditch the tach

I agree. I know DX's didnt come with tachs but you dont need a 5" one.

That seems like a fair deal, given if this shop is legit and does quality work.

yeah, just put in an EX/SI cluster or some JDM crap if you want the redline to be in the right spot.
