I did watch few video and try myself but effect is always far away from satisfactory.

I've done it twice. The first one had an average result and the second (after few advices from people) just came perfect. It is not that hard but just time consuming to clean the tubes from the old grip...

What Vando said..If you're paying someone to do it the cost of labour plus materials is close to the cost of a new boom. If you do it yourself its a bastard of a job and very difficult to get right.
