I got all my stuff from my local HD dealer. I actually paid about the same as I could have from places on the internet. I paid $215 for all the cables and wire extensions.

Yeah, +1 for ebay for a "kit". I have been eyeballing one on there myself, just hate to have to spend $700, DAMN!! I'm sure I could get the same results for about half that price. Here is the one I was looking at:

eBay is your best bet for a prewired kit with cables...I've hear others mention Hill Country Customs as a good eBay seller for this.
