    Traded in the last one, going to start modifying this soon.
    $450 to do this work seems reasonable ... shoot I might have you guys do it then. I would have to buy a new torque wrench at the least — last time I used one was 12 years ago :rofl:

    It’s a bolt on install. If the only skills you have are to bolt stuff on your prices should be cheaper, since doing the job won’t take you away from more skilled higher paying work.
