Does it really cost that much to install the FD?

Anyone know the going rates in SoCal for FD install? (both gear install and removing&reinstalling of pumpkin).

Tranny Shop recommendations in the LA/OC area welcome

Worse comes to worse and if it really costs that much, I think I would just drop the pumpkin myself and just drive it to the tranny shop so they'd just do the install of the gears (but I like the convenience of them having do it all..only if the price is decent of course). I know the actual gear install would cost a bit and requires special tools/skill; but swapping just the pumpkin itself is pretty easy and should only take an hour (or 2 at the very most if you're taking your sweet time). I swapped a junkyard Infinity(iirc) LSD into my S13 before; and I remember it was easy and fast.
