I've had it done twice. The first time was just over $1200 when I didn't bargain much, the last time was under $1100 when I pushed a little harder. Make sure you have whoever does the installation also provide ALL of the hardware. That way if something goes wrong, you won't be stuck in the middle as the installer and gear dealer start pointing fingers at each other and you're in the middle trying to get one of them to own up to paying to get things made right.
