Default Body Shop Installing Snorkel...
Does anyone have any idea what a bodyshop would charge for a snorkel install? I just really can't see myself cutting into that pretty Rescue Green hood on my jeep. I think I'll leave that to a pro.

honestly its not that hard at all, no point in paying someone to do it. the aev comes with a stencil for the cut and once you line everything up its no big deal, just remember measure twice, cut once. its really not bad after the first cut.

Not positive, but I think somebody said in another thread that they paid $150 for a RR snorkel install.

I agree with Rubi here. If I can do it myself.. than you can too.
