bday wish - got springs! / need mdvadc install

Got comptech springs for my birthday on sunday. nice surprise. I had of course hinted and even sent my gf a link to tim's site... well she ordered them, UPS screwed up delivering them, so sunday I got a little box with 4 pen springs and the yellow UPS paper delivery notification. very cute.

Anyway, picking them up from UPS today and I'm looking for a good place to install them. My local gaithersburg dealer quoted me 4.5-5 hour job at $375. The tech has only done 1 other set, and I don't trust this dealer (didn't buy from them) at all.

Any suggestions on where to go in MD/DC/VA for the install?

NOVAwhiteTypeS, you recommended a place in nova i think...?

Now, I wonder if I could get sways for valentine's...

Thanks, they quoted me $200 for the install. Better than the dealer & they actually know what they're doing!

Going over there at 12pm Sat 2/10 to have it done.
