Default Headers & Gear Install.....Chicagoland

I know there's SpeedInc, FLP, Str8 Line, etc.....but who around town has the most reasonable prices for installing LTs and gears? If they're all similar, I'll flip a coin.....thanks!

Finishline did an excellent job on my 3.73 gear install. I got it done back in April for $400.00.
