I posted this quesiton some time back and got a few good responses, let me see if i can find the links. I recall a company in CA that did it for about 600 bucks all around, you just returned your calipers as a core.

In answer to your questions:

Runs about $800.

Not a lot of work (installation).

Well worth the effort (see pictures)

VinnyG (Forum member) did the ones on my Verts.
