well, if u don't really have a hookup, i think the prices i found were about $100 a door, not painted, maybe a little less. of course i had my old club's unofficial sponsor shave my doors, gas door, antenna, and emblems... AND paint damn near the whole truck for $300 plus the paint i already had (also from a friend i got for cheap).
BUT you get what u pay for: i call mine ghost handles cuz u cant see em from far, but u see the lines up close :)
good luck! peace

Don't know about the handles, but I shaved my antennae. The body work came out to about $75 ($65/hour + materials) when I was getting some other work done. Next is tailgate and gas door.

How much is the gas door BTW?

xplicit, i'm not sure about the gas door, like i said i paid REAL cheap for alot of stuff altogether. if i had to guess i'd say about 150-200, cuz its not just body work, it's mostly relocating it.
OH... BTW i also installed the solenoids to open the doors myself, so i don't know if you'd have to take that into consideration if u'd have to pay for that too. a GOOD autoloc kit is i think almost 200.
like pappie said, u gotta check with local shops, they can charge pretty much whatever they want. Peace

mine comes out of the floor of the bed. it was frenched into the floor, but the guy kinda messed it up so it had a hole that water got in and i had to purge my gas tank. so i got the filler neck from a ram and got it sticking out the floor. i just gotta fab a box or something to make it look nice.
JyNx, that sounds BADASS! i've seen it before, but not on dakota (if u have a dakota). was it a pain to route it back there, and to hinge the light?? thanks.
I've also seen some less clean ones relocated to just inside the fenderwell (in front of the tire). peace
