This is probably the worst way to get a response, asking for the cheapest place to do the install is usually a turn-off for most installers. Keeping that in mind, Ill shoot you a PM...

Ive paid top $ for installs and had really shitty work done , so paying big $ doesnt always equal high quality work..

I agree, do them yourself. Not as bad as you might think.

another vote for doing them yourself. also did mine on garage floor this summer. when your finished youll tell yourself,, "damn, that wasnt bad at all". just a little time consuming. spend a night tearing the old **** off and next night for installing new. winter is here so you have time now, unless its a DD. goodluck

Ken,
Hopefully you change your mind after you drop it off and pick it up for the cam swap!

Can I get a rough estimate on how much you would charge to install dart heads? Previous work below done by speed inc.

$15 for some beer $10 for some pizza that should cover your friend helping you do it. If you got some one to help you its not bad at all but doing it all by your self can be a pain.
