The wiring kit should come with 2 sets of plugs. Mine did. One for power, ground,etc and the other to run the speakers.

Go on Ebay and order the pre cut tints. So much easier nad for only about 30 bucks. Used them on my truck and they went on with no prob. My GTP's next.

You can tint them yourself but it would be better to have someone at a tint shop do it. DIY tint never lasts and usually turns purple and bubbles. Pay $200 and have it done right by someone who knows what they are doing. That way if there are any problems you can go back to them.

Unless you are buying some really cheap tint it shouldn't turn purple. The only thing that will turn tint purple is using window cleaner with amonia in it. I've had my tint on my GP since 98 and it hasn't turned purple yet. Just stay away from the amonia based window cleaner. As for the air bubbles, just take your time putting it on. Start at the center of the windows and work your way out. And don't use the rear window defrost. It heats up the addhesive and causes it not to stick anymore giving you bubbles.

not now "money is tight for a while" i will have a shop tint my rear and side windows. Hay quick Q what does the 99 speedo go up to?? i saw 1 on car domain and it went up to like 160?? mine is like 110 i think! whats the deal? just a dumb q but wondering.

i think i just solved my own problem the car with the 200 or 180 mph speedo is a 2001 is that a different setup in 01 then my 99? haha dumb q but wondering.

All the ones I've seen have been 115. It's got 110 and then the mark right past it. Don't know where he got the 160 from. Unless he had it custom made. Then you'd have to have it calibrated to match the new speedo. Alot of trouble and money if you ask me. I'd rather keep what mine will do to others imagination.

The 180 is in kilometers. You can see it real good when you expand the pic and the orange is MPH and goes to 115. You might have already caught that though.
