SLP Subframe Install (need help!)

Ok, after looking at these bolt-on subframe connectors and all that is envolved with installing them, I'm seriously thinking I need to have them installed somewhere. Where should I take them???? I dont have body shops around here, just retail muffler and brake places like a carx, midas, tiresplus and whatever... I thought about checking how much the chevy dealership would charge. Help!

if you are gonna pay someone to install sfc...might as well just pay somone to weld them in.

midas or similar places should do it for about $150 max

It's too bad you don't live by me, this should be of some help http://users3.ev1.net/~cnl1/firehawk/subframe/index.htm . If you want e-mail me your phone number, I can give you a call and probably answer any questions you have about the install.

I've helped install SLP bolt ons before and it wasn't hard. Only thing we ran into is a little trimming on one heat shield and making one mounting hole a little larger. If you have access to a drive on lift I recommend doing it yourself. I have boxed BMR's and had them welded at a local muffler shop. Call around for the best price if you decide to have a shop do it.
