Installing Blue Ox tow plates
Just bought a tow plate assy for my 07 Pontiac G6, looking for someone in OK to install it under 500.00. That's what I'm getting quoted, which seems high.

From their website:
IR - (Installation Rating) is a rough measure of the time required for baseplate or bracket installation by a trained installer. These numbers can be used as rough suggested installation time by a trained installer. The first installation of a particular baseplate, and installation by untrained individuals will likely increase installation time substantially.
The rating for the G6 is a 3. This means it's not a simple installation. From the instructions the entire front of your car must be removed, some portions trimmed, the base plate installed then everything reassembled. I am guessing at least 3 hours for the work barring any unforeseen issues.
Your install price seems reasonable if you can't do the work yourself.....Dennis
