Default Overcharged On Installment... What to DO?

I recently recieved my tax returns, so i decided to buy soom goodies for my HR. I ordered Stillen HFC's, Stillen Headers, and am in the process of getting the new Manifolds. Since i live in Denver Colorado and don't know of any shops that can install these items for Z's, i decided to go to the dealer where i bought my nismo to ask if they could install these parts for me. The parts service manager told me that he would install JUST the headers for $1100.... Let alone the other parts. I told him he was crazy and some other words i can't mention...! The headers only costed me $500 and the HFC"s only $500 as well. They want to charge me more for service than what it cost to get these simple parts alone :-( I am not capable of installing these parts alone because i do not have the right equipment. What should I do!?!? I dont know of any shops in Denver that service Z's.... And i dont want to get hustled by the stealership!!

I would really appreciate any ideas my bro's have for me. Thanks guys/gals!

Try and find some other locals in your area and have an install day at one of their places maybe. Supply beer, food and be up for a day of learning. I'm sure you are not the only modded Z in Denver.

Denver is a big city. I'm sure there are plenty of shops that can do it. Google is your friend.
