Hi guys I'm new to this board and I was wondering if you could help me out with a little info.
My buddy has a 2003 Civic EX coupe. Recently he purchased:
1. AEM CAI with no bypass valve
2. DC Sports Ceramic Coated Headers (4-1)
3. HKS Hi-power exhaust system
4. Skunk2 Coilover sleeves, no aftermarket shocks to go along with the sleeves.
My friend was supposed to have all of this stuff installed at his brother's friend's shop free of charge but some things went awry with that so we are looking at alternative options. I myself have never installed springs, CAI, or headers. I have done an exhaust before. I think that CAI should not be TOO hard so I could do that myself as well. My friend doesnt know that much about how to work on cars. When I first modified my accord I had a shop do all the work but its been a long time since that time so I have no idea how much installs would cost anymore.

So here is my question.

1. How much do you think a shop would charge to install all of these things? I mean I know some shops charge different prices, but on average how much do you think it would cost to have all of these things installed?
2. How much would you yourself charge if you were to do it?
3. Is there anyone that is willing to do all or some of these installs, and how much would you charge? If so where are you located and when would you be able to do this.

Thank you all for reading this long post.

If you have a screwdriver and ratchet set, you can put the CAI, header and exhaust in. (03 no rust) The coilovers you'll need your socket set, a jack, a set of spring compressors and a ball joint splitter for the front.

If you live near RI or MA I can give you a hand with the install. Should take a few hours.

As for prices, you'll just get raped, DIY! it's the way to go. It's not that hard. If you were to pay, i would say only pay for the coilovers that is the time consuming portion.
Good luck.

yeah most of that stuff is DIY. The hardest thing i think would be the coilovers. The header and exhaust might give you problems because of the shitty spring loaded stock bolts and some rust. The CAI will take you a total of half hour if you know what you are doin or have a DIY handy to look at.

PS: it is kinda hard to know if we are in the area if you don't post where you are from.

and look at the menu part on the left side of your screen click on the one that says DIY and you will get a diy on the CAI search and you may find some help on the header i think the torque on those is about 23 to the bolts on the block and 18 for the ones on the downpipe make sure you put the donut gasket back in the right way. any more questions just let us know

you can do all those by yourself. with friends. spring install isnt hard, just time consuming. probably 3 hours max. there is detailed DIY spring install that mex made. which is very helpful. intake install is piece of cake , you can do that too.

if you take it to shop for spring install. they will probably charge you at least $100.
probably $30-50 for exhaust install
