Default Shops in Cali for cam install??

Lookin for shops in cali that do good work on cam installs and have reasonable prices. Shops around where i live want to charge $800.00+ for a cam install. If you have had your cam install at a cali shop, please mention how much you paid, so i can know what im lookin' at, thanks

There is a guy in Orange County that was doing it for $350 or so. I think his name was Irelandxx (where xx = numbers). I could dig for the info if you want.

Your best bet is really to go with a board member if you want a smokin deal. Shops have to cover there overhead which will usually double the price.
