Times f**king two man!!!!^^^ I got mine on eBay. Did it myself. Then the f**king zip ties started to break. The **** then was hanging off at one end and I pretty much broke the damn thing cuz I as doing 75mph. The a plug came off too!! That **** broke also cuz I didn't know it unplugged and it was scraping on the floor for a whole f**king week.

Other than that. Paying $300 f**king dollars is getting raped

FYI

I ended up taking the **** off

You're getting way overcharged if you plan on paying that much, on my last car I bought the kit for $70 off of ebay, and installed it myself, it's easy.

Yup real easy. Then you can have fun ripping em off months later

IMO they're not worth it. Alot of people don't have kits like they used to back in the day and That's for a good reason. But it's your car anyways

i got power locks and windows done for 625 could not be happier with them
got a trunk release too and the windows can be rolled up or down when the car is off.

yea using zipties is not smart
the shop has done numerous show cars and such
they wire up all the police crusier's in the area and they do great work so im not worried about the quality of the install
i got my power windows and locks through them along with my sound system
im gna go with wat he said and ill post pics up when its done
spring breaks not till the 10th so ill probably get it done during that week
thanks for all the opinions guys
