Default can anyone recommend a good shop for CAI installation??

just bought the Injen branded one and my dealer won't install unless its TRD. Called a couple of other local dealers and they wanted more to install than i paid. i live in LA, specifically the San Fernando Valley....any suggestion would be nice.

its really not that hard. all you have to do is remove some bolts and follow the instructions. believe it or not it took me only 15min to remove the stock and install it and its the 1st intake i'd ever put into a car myself. most people remove the bumper but i didn't i just remove the battery because i'm lazy and everything just worked out fine.
just do it yourself and save up the$$$ for somethings else trust me its very easy.

Main work is putting the clamps and hoses on. Everything else is a cinch! Remove battery and fender liner on drivers side.
