^^ will be around 300-400. reason is they have to weld in the hole and paint match (blend) the trunk. more labor than you think.

When I can do it for around $20 in product, I wont pay over $100 for someone else to do it.

I don't think you guys understand how easy and cheap welding is. I use scrap metal which is free, and mig wire is not that much for a couple tacks. The only thing I really use is maybe one or 2 grinding disks.

I filled, grind, and smoothed mine out in about 30 minutes. Less than $5 in product.
