10y ago when I used to work in a shop we charged $75/hr labor if you purchased the parts through us and $110/hr if you brought in parts. Accounting for inflation, I think that would be about $90/hr and $130/hr now. I haven't done this job on a 370z, but it can't be that different from the 350z. So I'd quote the following times:

Exhaust: 1hr
Swaybars: 2hr

So we are talking a total of 3hr of work, and I would have charged you $390+tax (here in TX it would come out to $422.18). Also, did you perform disposal of the old parts yourself, or did you let the shop dispose of your old parts? Cause we charged for that as well by weight, and fluids had a hazmat charge. And if you were an *** about things (anything) we would throw on a charge for all disposable items we had to use (WD-40, Loc-Tite, Sandpaper, etc).
