Did you bring the car to a regular place, or a performance shop? If it's a regular garage, they don't like to do custom work, because it's time consuming and annoying for a regular mechanic. And, regardless of how "bolt-on" everything is advertised, it's never that easy.

I'd recommend you save the $$ you'd pay a shop to install crap, and buy a good set of tools and learn how to do it. I think you wind up with a greater sense of pride in your car when it's something you built, rather than something you paid for. Just my $.02, don't take it the wrong way.
