Fair LSD install price?

Looking at an aftermarket LSD for my 2012 (still can't believe a car with this performance and refinement comes standard with an open diff). Bought my car used, and although it is very well optioned the factory LSD was not something the original buyer apparently thought was important.

Vivid Racing has PM'd me with a price on a WaveTrac, so now I need to make sure someone nearby can do the install affordably. I just stopped by the local import shop and after some poking around in his computer the gent there said yes, they can do it - and it would take about 5.5 hours at $95/hr. He said to figure $600 for the job with supplies.

So, for the experts on here - does that sound about right to you? Price and effort sound reasonable?

That seems fair.

We also charge $95 an hour and would take my guy 4-5 hours.

That's actually pretty cheap. The dealer charges a bit more for it. Just make sure wherever you go has experience in that area.

Roughly $1700 for cost of Wavetrac and installation I believe is what I was quoted.
