I dont have a set price I can give over the internet when it comes to custom work like this. Here are my reasons why....
Everyone wants something differant. Some customers just wanted one or 2 wires moved and hidden. Other customers want everything hidden. Some want this moved here and that moved there. Its always differant. Not to mention if the customer has nitrous, ignition box's, etc. with wires that will add to the cost of course.
Plus not to mention what the shape the wiring is to begin with. I have givin pre set estimates on wire tucks without seeing the car in the past and I end up getting screwed in the end cause I spend more time, money, and materials fixin a wire harness that is damaged (oil soaked, cut, etc.) than I did actually moving it and hiding it. And I stand behind my estimates! Once I give you the estimate I am not going to change it unless we find something that needs done ASAP! I am not a bullshit shop who gives an estimate then turns around and overcharges you! (like so many shops get accused of doing, like stated before we are bringing TRUST back to the performance shop name which so many other shops have ruined!)
I do it this way cause this makes it fair for everyone. It makes it fair to me (the business owner) so I dont undercut the job and loose my ass, time, and money. And it makes it fair to you (the customer) that I am not over charging you for something that might only take me a couple hours. We find that happy medium and in the end when its all said and done everyone is happy.
Plus it only takes 20 minutes to run by the shop and let me give you an estimate....free of charge of course.

Of course the price would be different if harness has been altered. I am giving a set price for a harness that is "virgin". If there are wires for foglights just sitting in the bay, I have no problem running it with the rest of the harness free of charge. If the harness has been cut or is just a plain mess, then I would give an estimate until I see the car in person. I am also willing to travel if my gas is paid for as well as lunch.
