Just went online and checked out iWire's Porsche - Subaru harness prices. $2499.99 for what cost me < $150. That is a substantial difference!

Good for you. You also have the satisfaction in knowing that YOU did.

Yikes!!! That's some serious coin!

I sent mine off to a guy and paid $550. He did a beautiful job. It’s not something that I could do.

But looking at their website, it looks like they create an all new harness, custom made to your specs with a lifetime warranty. If you could build the same thing yourself in 40 hours, you would be trading your time at $62/hour.

Mark is correct, it is a battle I face everyday, my billing rate is much hirer than my mechanical rate. That being said the mechanical and construction rates are what gives me the sanity to keep doing what my professional rate pays for.

Would I buy that harness, not a chance, but then I really like doing things 3 or 4 times over

Ya'll followed my trials and tribulations with that so you know; $2500 is probably worth it. I'm just happy I didn't have to shell that amount out. His rate is fair. Especially when compared to our company's rates.
