[systembumping 10+ year member]

How much does Big 3 usually cost at a shop with materials? car is a Lexus LS400. Just trying to get an idea because I know the shops are going to tax me. Also anybody reccomend a good install shop in Savannah/Statesboro area?

I went to a shop, and without the materials (if I provided them) they were going to charge $200. They said it would take 4 hours, as my alt is inaccessable without taking off the front end, but I'm sure your's will be less. Probably around or over $100 for install.

Lexus's have open engine bay's dont they?

WIth knukonceptz wire and the other parts, for all of the big 3, it was around $75 shipped.

why would you pay to install the big 3?

unless you had a poorly placed alt

Because not only would I have to take the front bumper off, but it would be the entire front end.... and then, within the super-cramed engine bay, you need to find the correct wires, remove them and replace. In some cars, if you don't have the time, knowledge or experience, it's better to get it professionally done.

true, but for 200$, you could almost get a new HO alt, which is like 999x better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I can't even see my alternator, it's crammed under the power steering pump. I don't really want to fool with a job like this. I don't think I'm advanced enough yet lol.
