We use the Spotwave equipment, they are expensive but extremely reliable.
I take it back, we use a pair of BridgeWave GE 60's: http://www.bridgewave.com/products/ge60.cfm

I do not remember the exact quote, because they were set up 3 years ago, but it was around 20-30K installed.

The environment is a construction yard connecting two trailers together. One trailer has an MPLS connection. I was looking a Trendnet's 14DB directional attenna. I have used there business class products before and they seems work fine. Does anyone have any other recommedation for Hardware?

i dont mind spending 2-3K if needed but i dont want to spend 20k for 2 or 3 users...how many decibles do i need to reach 500 ft?
I've got several 1.5+ mile bridges working just fine using D-Link 3200ap's and 24db directional parabolic antenna's.

(At 500ft or less, you can get by with a lot less antenna. 15db would be just fine. You'll probably even want to turn the tx power down on the radios.)
You'll also need a pigtail or cable assembly to connect the antenna to the radio. The length and cable type will depend upon how for the antenna will be from the radio. (Shorter is better - the longer the cable, the more db loss.) Then D-Link radios will have the reverse SMA type connector (RP-SMA). Most external parabolics will have either the Female or Male N-Type connector.
http://www.hyperlinktech.com has cable assemblies in various lengths usually using the N-Type connectors on each end. You could then purchase the correct pigtail assemby to attach the radio.
