door sill question

I talked with the dealership last night and they told me to put in the door sills that it would cost close to 1500.00 . I oreded them with the car, which I pick up tonight, but they never really gave me a price. Dose this sound right to everyone for a price. He said that it takes a lot of time to install and do the labor. What do you guys think?!!!!

Are you talking about illuminated door sills?? That appears to be way too much.

Way to freakin much dude......1500.00 dollars?? I think the option was for like 400.00 or something...u can get them after market for 150.00 and then install them yourself. They are really nice...I got them......For 1500 dollars u can use that to get some nice other mods for your car!

Too much $$ even if you do it the Mercedes way which involves gutting the interior of the car. Last time, they told me it would take about 6 hrs, which is still way below 1500 USD

Pick them up, nicely say "Thank you", then peel out of the dealership before they have the chance to ask you about installation.

A good local shop would be much better. I think that the place that installed my Brabus ones took 3-4 hours, as I do believe that it is a time-consuming job, but for $1500, you should get a nice dinner before they rape you.

that is a freaking rip off. have you called around. for that price they better shoot a big light into the clouds like the bat signal that say "Mercedes-Benz" then shoot fireworks.

ok guys, I just finished that mod too! There are 4 tubes above each door and they shoot fireworks when you open each door. Works great. Have to use DAS to set FIREWORK TUBE = PRESENT

I heard that it disables the panic feature of your alarm, though.

no you have to set BlasTronic to Mars with Fireworks. Then you can have the chirp, panic and fireworks.
