Well, it will cost you about 5 dollars (probably less) and about 5 mintues (probably less) of your time if you just do it yourself.

yeah, but i know i would mess it up. i read if you dont do it right you crack the neck. wouldnt want that to happen. so if it is that easy it should be cheap for someone to do it. i dont know, ill look into it

thanks though

No offense or anything, but it really isnt that hard. But if you must have someone else do it, then you must.

You have to be a complete idiot to screw it up. Just as long as you know the spot where its supposed to go, and you pick the right drill bit you are fine.
