| No offense... but if you don't know what to purchase, you really should try a professional. If you do not know what you are doing, you will damage your automobile... and there is a good chance that you will injure yourself. Please be careful. |

But if you really determined to do it yourself, you will probably need a wiring harness, crimping tools, crimp connectors, and probably dynamat.
Check pep boys or something like best buy. You can count on many, many hours of work, if this is your first time. Like I said, be careful  |

I still suggest that you get a professional help. If you really want to do it yourself, at least there is somebody to help you out in such a way that you will not be injured and you will be doing it the correct way.  |

| Yeah, ditto on the "be careful" advice. There is a lot that can go wrong but, at the same time, sometimes you have to just learn by doing. If you have all the information and are meticulous about following directions you should be fine. As far as stuff you'll need? Make sure you have wiring harnesses, a drill with screwdriver and drill bits, electrical tape, a box cutter, various sized sockets and wrench, cresent wrench, wire stripper, and a little luck. Just be careful, you'll be alright! |
