While I was there I asked my mechanic if he would be interested in installing that longitudinal kit and he quoted me $750.00. Does that price sound about right or is he too high again?
I can always stop by a body shop for an estimate also, but if worse comes to worse, I would rather pay more and have it done right as opposed to cheaper and screw it up for me. |

How handy are you ? If you are not able to do the welding you should be able to do the prep. You can remove the passenger seat and all the carpet. You can remove the backpad. How about you do the sanding of the longs and the rear bottom portion of the passenger compartment so all the welder/installer has to do is line the parts up and weld. Lets face it the welding isn't that hard but it's the prep that takes time ( $$$ ). By doing the prep you can save some coin. Maybe ask on this forum if anyone near you could come do the welding for you.
