The tri-vent system was around $250 which I installed myself.
The Griffiths parts and shop labor was around $1,700. Individual parts pricing can be found on the Griffiths website. You could save around $500-$600 if you could do the work yourself. While I am a pretty handy DIY'er, I've never done any a/c work so I sent this job to the professionals.
At the end of the day, it was a $2K solution.
As I said at the top of the original post, I love this car and drive it everyday so I was comfortable with making the investment.
A couple of points worth mentioning is that I didn't need to go to a fender mounted system to get enough cooling capacity and I didn't upgrade the hoses because first I needed to address the cooling - if losing refrigerant is an issue, then I will deal with that later.
