I've done some research on getting the 5901.. (not 5902), its available online for $200.. I'm in NY too and have visited two major shops here, I was quoted $700+ (and they wanted me to buy the product through them yada yada) for the 5901 with a tilt sensor and a glass break sensor. (The sensors go for about $60 each)

So it comes to $320 in parts for me... so yeah I said no to their quote of $700+ straight up

Your $500 quote means just $250 in labor, which is reasonable. I wouldn't mind doing it together with you maybe...

BUT my greater concern is, these shops they all just say yeah we can do it yeah we can do it... I'm more interested in looking for independent installers who I have proof, that they've worked on a 370z before... putting it back the way you took it apart can be a pain... I insisted the shop would let me watch the entire install and they were okay with that though, because I want to know for sure they're not gonna cut corners.

I know, I know, the "shops" have worked on cars more expensive than a 370z, I just don't want mine to be a scapegoat for their first experiments. Or maybe I do if someone can convince me otherwise.

That being said, if there's anyone who can prove they've successfully done the Viper install on the 370z, talk to me I will get it done from you. (Matt you listening... I wish you knew these!)
