I agree. It is not that hard to wire it up there is even a gromet under the back passanger seat to push the wires thru.

I would not go anywhere that charged more than 1/2 an hour labor. Our rate would be $38 for comparison. And that would not include the wiring of the unit.

Nice! that is about the cheapest I have seen. Was it a botched job at all? Clean welds?

The guy did a really good job. The welds are pretty clean and still holding (2 years).
