There is a HUGE difference between purchasing the accesory when the car is purchased and purchasing after purchase of the car.

I hammered this out with the dealer when I bought mine and wanted them to install (ended up doing for the same reason, they wanted 500 to install). They charge retail on the part and what they feel is appropriate for labor, which they could charge 3-4 hours for.

And how many hours would you need to charge to make an 800.00 total bill?

Not many people in this thread are thinking this through fully.
