Seems absurd. Please advise!
Brother, where do you live? If you’re close enough, I can have someone do it for free. That’s ridiculous. It should not take someone that’s an average DIY person more than
2 hours to get this done. You could yourself. I can send you some DIY’s. It’s very straightforward. And don’t spend the extra money buying the Evolve ones that are aluminum anyways. The SS ones are better and also cheaper. It’s a no brainer.
