so I don't have to pay him to do my a dyno tune
I have a pair of USDM seats sitting around since I replaced it with a pair of Recaros
NiXX offers me to trade him the seats and he will do me a full dyno tune after I installed my cams~:P lol
suggestion?

well, are you going to sell the spare seats or are they just going to rot in your garage or wherever? it would also save you the hassel of selling them.. waiting for someone to be interested in them, lowballing, meeting up with people and they don't show, etc.. so it's really up to you

Yes, dyno tune is 120, 125 dollars an hour. So 4 hours, you are looking at 500 dollars. Whether shops tacks on taxes or if it is a cash deal, I do not know.

It is hard to nickle and dime and see who got a better deal in this trade, but a good tuning is definitely worth more than USDM ITR seats, especially when they are garbage to begin with.

Who is NiXX?

it depends whats done to your car and how long it takes.. and well, if it's $125/hour than technically you got ripped off..
