What did it cost you to have them installed? Did you have them flanged so you could swap them out with the OEMs? Have you noticed any performance changes? I ask because I am seriously considering them for my M Coupe.

Parts and labor was about $500, but that was high because A) I had them flanged and B) this was the first set that the shop installed. They spent over a day doing it, but that was because they (and I) wanted it done right, and getting everything lined up was more work than any of us planned. As it was they didn't charge me for all the time and materials they spent on the job. If I hadn't insisted on the flanges it would have been a 1-2 hour job.

The Supertrapps themselves weren't that expensive; see earlier postings for costs of a set, but the hardware was under $300 from the company.

Performance wise, I wasn't looking for any HP gains, as much as the lower weight. I do intend to dino the car to see what the change in the numbers is, but I'm not looking for much.
