same.. down to about $50 i think in the end.. i was impressed by the estimate.
Compliance like everybody says can vary way too much as it can depend on the vehicle. In mine I need to replace the rear tyres (bald) and the brakes need attention. These, items that need replacing weren't in the original estimate, but budgetted and thought of. Always budget for a set of 4x GOOD tyres, and 4x GOOD brake pads, and a full service (i.e. replace anything that can be pulled off and replaced cheaply).. in the very least
One of the reasons I wish to do my own compliance is that I can choose a bit better exactly what tyres I put on there, what brakes, and changing any basic things such as oil and water as I see fit. Its possible I could get away with not doing the brakes but why bother if they are borderline, stopping a car is a good idea.
under SEVS (younger than 15 years) no modifcations.. under 15 year rule, modifications have to be engineer certifiable.
