Some people are weird when it comes to work done on theur cars. If they cant get some sort of warranty or paperwork, they wont have the work done. I, on the other hand, am a broke college student so Im always looking for the best prices; even though I end up doing stuff myself

PM Smoke T/A and ask him how much hed charge for an install. I think hes up your way, and last I checked, he was offering header installs for around my quoted price.

Haha yea thanks man. I'll prob end up doing them myself to. I don't really see the idea of paying for something that you can do yourself.
