LMS prices seem to have gotten out of hand I believe I was quoted about $2500 a couple years ago. I find it a bit disheartening that they quoted you so much, seeing how they have done numerous times and to someone that has done before could probably do in half the time. I know I could.
This was my thoughts as well, adding in that my car has been there a couple times already.  I simply don't have the time to do it and won't overpay to have it done.

I understand it's a "Smokin Deal"...LOL    Car is a Looonngg waay from Detroit. 

Biggest issue as I see it is the turbos themselves... Are all those modded turbos subject to seal leaks, and how do you know if the new ones will be any better?? 

While I am aware of some G8 guys who had issues with Livernois installed mods, the vast majority of times, Livernois parts and installation work is first rate.

But back to the OP.

$3500 is categorically highway robbery.

Robbery is an understatement... especially something that there is a write up on, and multiple people have done them selves.
