Has anyone used a local shop to install the AEM CAI AND bypass in the So Cal area that did a good job?

I'm in San Diego and have bypass
Just pay the $47 and get the bypass. I got it $47 including tax, free shipping from some site that I now forget. Anyhow, it's definitely worth the cost to insure the risk IMHO.

What the heck are you talking u don';t need a bypass valve in Socal? It rained in east LA the 16 years I was there and if u don't gotta contend with rain it's the Sepulveda basin flooding or WORSE... BACKED UP STORM DRAINS!
Eric, I'd do the isntall myself. Just make sure u make an EVEN and STRAIGHT cut of the pipe in half and attach the bypass valve. If u fucked it a bit, you'll have to trim off maybe an inch of piping to get the valve to fit on properly. Dood, it ain't worth paying to install just that part.

I'm sorry to say I spent my some of my teen years doing sheet metal fabrication, welding, auto g-jobs, yada yada yada... (Shop was populated with a old-timers with missing fingers *and* blood tales.. )
AS far as the flooding goes, the previous storm (not this very last one) filled a few local intersections with water.
And, I'm only a few miles from the location of a bunch of apartment complexes that had their underground parking garages filled to 3-feet over the car's roofs! OUCH!!!!

Paid up $60
Since I didn't have any tools, I just paid up $60 for the installation. They fucked up one of my lower fog lights I found out as I was leaving so I'm gonna go back and get that fixed tomorrow. But it's harder than I thought when I watched it. I'm glad I paid. And if it fucks up, you can sue the shit out of the shop.

RE: do it myself (now that the intake is in)...
1. No hassle of removing the original factory intake
2. I'd like to have the pipe cut (clean and straight) with a good saw (bandsaw, take-your-pick), but if go somewhere to get it cut, I have to do it on a Saturday (for the 2nd car), since mine will now be sans intake!
3. If I do it myself, I only need a couple of new hacksaw blades (# 2 as a spare), but I need to clean up the edges (deburr it) and I would prefer a nice straight (no brainer cut) from a good machine saw. (Sorry, my jig saw blade is not long enough)
Why the ramble -- Heck, for 60-bucks, it isn't worth my time, replacement hacksaw blades, strained back, and effort (although I could be sure some knuckle-dragger didn't leave aluminum crumbs in the pipe).

Yeah, so I watched him
I got it done at Penn Auto Performance in San Diego. A guy named Scott I think did it. Good guys, did a good job, and I was actually watching and helping through the whole thing so he sorta had to but he was good about it.
