True it can be done for much less if you do it yourself, but most
people can't, and of the people that can, most of them won't be able
to do it to the same level as kyle. From each pin and terminal used to
the wire type and everywhere in between, he knows the correct ways to
build a good harness. That isn't to say it's not possible for less, or
can't be a DIY project, but I guarantee the quality of the final
product won't even come close to what he'll provide you with... and
since you're only as strong as your weakest link, $400-$500 is great
price for a harness done correctly.

At least with the wbx lot's of the terminals and backshells are
available in small quantities to DIYers which at least makes what
you're talking about possible.
