Retrofitting Soft Close in Kitchen.

Is retrofitting soft close system onto existing kitchen cabinets and drawers a possibility?

And does anyone know what the approximate costs would be? Could a total noob do this DIY?

Yep.
I've seen these little springy knob things that you drill and insert.
No idea where the cabinet men get their supplies from.

Try these for doors and drawers. I'd prefer the ones that replace one of the hinges on each door, I think they're available at Home Depot. I find these are sleeve catchers when you reach into the cabinet.

Windsor plywood has a good selection of european hinges. They also gives discounts on volume.
