To have it done at a dealer, probably $1200 all parts and labor included.

You could probably get away with about $4-500 doing it yourself.

Tons of folks have done it, its not difficult, just time consuming and you have to be meticulous, especially when extending wires.

But its definitely do-able, especially if you have help from someone who has done it before, and you can save yourself an ***-ton of money.

$1000 give or take depending if done at a Dealership or at an independent. Let's say $600-$1200 including all supplies.

I paid around $1100 to have mine done. I can do little stuff, but didn't feel comfortable with the wiring.

If you don't feel the need to do it yourself ask a trusted indy before a dealer.

It shouldn't. If you have to take it off for some reason it's very easy to do. It only takes a few minutes to get one off.
