I'd guess maybe $200 per side, pro, look around.

As a general rule figure it costs as much or more to install as to buy the kit.
Preparation is key to any welding job...the more you prepare, the easier it is for the guy to do it. The problem here of course is that you probably want to drive it in to the shop!
Look at SafeTCap's instruction sheet and see how much YOU can do before driving it into the shop or perhaps if you have to pull the lower suspension arm do it yourself and bring the car into the shop on a trailer.
Lastly, MIG welding isn't that hard. One school of thought says that you should buy or rent a MIG kit and do it yourself. One absolute hint...quit screwing around with non-active welding screens...the best way is to get the electronic kind that automatically dim with the arc! I personally like TIG welders with RF starters but modern MIG works fine...you don't even need an inert gas shield with the new core wires that provide a gas shield from the heat of welding although like any flux core or flux wrap you may have to chip stuff off the weld. If you want a show quality weld you'll need to practice (vertical or overhead welding is, ummm, an art) and you'll need a bottle of argon or nitrogen or whatever shield gas the wire recommends.
This is NOT ASTM-pressure welds and you don't have to radiograph the weld...just use enough heat, tack weld first before you run the bead and follow Safe T Cap's instructions.
