wel labor if they charge you 1 hour would be prolly be around 60-75 dollars (you would have to check dealer rates for labor per hour)

hardware might be an issue ... is this an OEM STYLE that has the screw holes or is it one you have to drill into the hatch to mount ?

Definitely check around because one dealer told me it would cost $100 to install my sports steering wheel, and another dealer told me $25. So the price can vary a lot depending on which toyota you go to. I ended up paying $24. I am going to that dealer from now on for my service needs.

I asked around too.
$100+ plus for the installation of the CF wing. Yeah right,

I just went to an aftermartket shop and was lucky enough he installed it for free.

the actual labor time to install a wing is .5 of an hour
depending on the quality of the CF wing it would take more time. Check out a body shop not the serv dept (if the dealer has one), normally a mech will get paid more than a bodyman.

what kind of steering wheel Captain? brand? does it have airbags?

i ask because i want the TRD wheel with the SRS system from japan. I can get my hands on the wheel but i've heard conflicting things about the airbag thing not working on the US xB. I'm not about to sacrifice safety for looks so I haven't done it yet..
