It appears both Gintani and MaxPSI solutions will set you back at least $4K when it's all said and done. When I first heard news of the VTT solution and that it would cost half the price out of the door, I was pretty excited. Like I mentioned in my previous posts, I was a hesitant to believe though it would only require 6 to 8 hours for install. I couldn't understand why the solutions that required drilling would add that much more labor. |
I assume Gintani and MaxPSI solutions require more labor so they would probably cost even more. With these crazy labor rates here in Bay Area, I was planning to take my car to a shop in SoCal for the install if it was indeed 6-8hours. 20hours of labor means the car needs to be in the shop for at least 3days if everything goes as expected, which is not convenient for me. I'm glad that more solutions are coming to the market but not gonna lie, a bit disappointed with the 20hour install time.
