Don't be afraid of doing it or having it done. It has been done successfully for longer than any of us have been around. If you don't want to do it, take it to a reputable shop that has experience doing it.

You will then open up a lot of options.
I never even thought about this. I will definitely ask an experienced person about this. Thanks!
