of that 500 bucks, ill bet that about $450 of it is in labor too. Once you get to it, its an incredibly easy job to replace. In some cases though (like mine
) you end up completely dissasembling the dash and moving it out of your way. And that takes quite a bit of time. Probably took me about 4-6 hours to do, and i had to find all the bolts and figure out how the dash was on, so it went slower than it would at a dealer. All in all, get a free day and do it yourself.
