Hey,

I have all the stuff to put a decent stereo in my 2002 Cavalier, (stuff that I have collected over the years, you know how it is)... and I have been trying to get my money situation fixed... all i wanna do is install this stereo but the goddamn wiring harness is $80 !!! :o wtf!!!!

anyone know of anyplace to get a cheaper alternative?

Thx...

the 2002 cavalier has a special setup, that is why the harness is $80, and yes im sure, installed price (at soundadvice) was $200. for just a headunit.
