I have a 2005 Infiniti FX that will need the rear brakes done (new pads, resurfaced rotors) soon. About how much shoud this cost if done by a good reputable shop?

Get prices on OEM (original equipment manufactures) parts first. If you were not completely satisfied with the longevity of your rear pads, make a switch to a top shelf ceramic based pad.
They usually charge $10.00 per rotor for resurfacing.
Ceramic pads ----- $ 60.00
Brake hardware ----- ? You may or may not need any.
Labor------------------$ 100.00
You may be able to get them done at a chain chop for a few bucks less but you'll not be able to specify the pads you'll be getting. They will find every excuse in the world to sell you new brake rotors fo $70.00 each. The problem is they are selling you off- shore brake rotors that you can buy for $25. -$30. at any auto parts store.
In my opinion an independent mechanic is the guy to see as you can have some input concerning the parts you want.

If you take it to a "reputable" shop, you will need about $150. If you go out and buy the rotors and brake pads and do it yourself, $100. It is worth the $50 to have, say, MIDAS, do the work and dispose of the old parts. Don't pay any more than $150 though. Some shops will state that they are required to replace the calipers, but that is just extra cash out of your pocket. And most shops no longer resurface the rotors, as it is less expensive to just replace the rotors if needed. Usually you replace the rotors every other brake pad replacement, and as long as the rotors are not damaged, they do not need to be replaced the first time you replace the pads.

In Wyoming, about $300. If you get to it before the rotors are involved, about half that.

it relies upon what you choose, rear force or front force, greater suited gas mileage, convenience, or interest? the acura is front wheel force = worse coping with. The lexus and g35 are rwd = sturdy coping with. The lexus (is250) and g35 sedan are available handbook while the acura tl does not

midas maybe, and depends on what brakes pads you use, cheap, medium, high quality ceramic?
I'd say from $160-$220
