USS Install in NVa

Has anyone gotten the M7 Under Strut System installed somewhere in Northern Virginia? I'd like to go to someone who has done it before and if possible, I'd like to avoid paying the $100ish labor/hour charge since it is supposed to be such a straightforward and simple install.

I saw the title of this thread and the first thing I thought of was a Naval ship (USS Install) I was thinking of what a crappy name for a ship. Then, what is it doing in NVa?

Can't help you. Good luck

Where are you located? Have you considered an install day at someones house? The places I know of in NVA will charge the hourly rate regardless of ease (Ultimate, Curry's).

drilling holes in the frame of the car?! that doesnt sound straightforward or simple. especially with the reports from a few people on here about overdrilling and the inserts not working.

You simply widen existing holes...it's not like you are drilling new holes with no reference or template in the frame. Did you read the instructions? http://www.m7tuning.com/tech.html
Perhaps I should have said that I don't think it is difficult based on my skill level but it appears to be a pretty basic install.
