Talking Need transmission work done!

I have a RA gear kit coming in the mail, and I need a trust worthy shop to do the install on my 02 wrx. I need some good recommendations of a shop here on island that would do the job correctly. I know there’re a lot of people on this site that know their stuff, and I value your opinions. Thanks in advance for the input!

He bought it from Rallispec. $1675 shipped. Vakamon quoted him $500 to install them, that includes him pulling the tranny and bringing it to them.

around 1000 if you bring the whole car, ive done two sets already, good fun. usually its a 1 day job, but we no longer have access to a shop's press we used to use (pacific automotive), so it may take lil more time.
