Default Dealer install cost TRD Sway bar?

I'm thinking of getting the TRD sway bar and would like to know what I should expect to pay for the dealer to install it. I had asked them but they didn't see it in their manual (I guess it wasn't in there because the part isn't on the Scion website). So if they have to come up with a price I'd like to know what a decent install price is.

I'm not really comfortable doing it myself and would rather have them do it so that it's dealer installed incase there are any issues with anything in the future...I don't want any hassle.

From what I've read, it seems almost everyone who bought one is happy with it so I'm looking forward to it.

it's only a few bolts...and it takes 5 minutes total! Don't pay that ridiculous price, which by the way will probably be over 100 or at 100 dollars.

Agreed, takes no time to do and no expertise at all. You can't really mess up much with a swaybar install and dealer will be at least 100 for them to take 20 mins installing it then talk to each other about the cost for another 40.

This is a total driveway install. Even if you have never done anything like this you can pull it off. It also comes with installation instructions. Let me know if you're interested.

But to answer you question. If you have an honest dealer (yes they do exist ) they they should only charge you 1/2 hour on labor if they are like most dealers they should only charge you an hour. Every dealer has differnet labor rates. Either way it's really not money you need to give away.
