Guy quoted almost $400 to put Intakes on a G37 at Forged Performance.. thoughts?

But i want to keep talking to all you folks defending an overpriced joke of a shop, please continue with comments! We have a lot of posts so far and I was hoping to hit 10 pages.

Although the last half of this post is purposeless junk (duh), you all have thankfully added enough hits to get others to read the important first half, thanks for being a part of this honest PSA about an overpriced shop in Atlanta!

Oh and if you want to get durty, check the G35 forum posts about Forged's hammer skills, I didnt even go there... lol.

The Story of the Forged Hammers, starring Lou Diamond Phillips.

Lou, I know a Z sells for $30-40k, but lets face it, there are parts that are completely automated in their making. And parts of assembly are done with robots...

Nissan doesn't pay robots... So you dont need extra $$ from me to cover that.

So can I have my Z for sayyyyyy $5k? kthxbai.

My labor rate is $120.00 an hour.

True, but it's just one of those things. I mean, if Lou Fusz Ford had a reputation for hitting their inventory with blunt objects I probably would never have bought from you.

But for the record, I'm OK with the fully nude test drives.

But you get Mustang off in like 5 minutes? So he doesn't have to pay for the full hour though right???

let us end the thread on a positive note:

'10Anamoly · 01-12-2011, 05:21 PM

Agreed. The hammer strikes are very taxing on the hammer wielding employee, so at least $90 of that $107 is justified I guess. If it dont fit right just make 'er work I guess, lol!

Quorra...
