99 chevy cavalier, Viper 160XV?

i have a 99 chevy cavalier auto.  has passlock 2 security

just bought it online, and now im trying to figure out whats teh best solution to having this installed on my car?  im not electtronically-savvy, and i heard that my car, a 99 cavalier, has the passlock 2 and needs an immobolizer to bypass the passlock.  should i goto a pro and have it installed for me?  if so where could i go to bring the kit to them, and should i also supply them the starter bypass module as well for them to install?  what price range am i looking at for the full install?

my other alternative is spending a few days/weekends with a friend who might and actually knows more about wiring than myself, and getting down to try to install it ourselves.  i do have the manual for my car to find the right wire colors.  but if we decide to do it ourselves, is it a good idea to buy spare XX(ie 16, 18, or 22) gauge wire and butt connectors for the install, or does the viper kit comes with everything i need to connect the car's wiring harness' and the viper 160xv harness'? 

i really really really thank you and everyone else on their advise and guidance. 

Go Pro................

so then where would i go to have it installed?  most places i think require that i buy the product at their store then have them install it, but what places have the policy whee i can just bring in a product not sold by them yet have them install it for me?  thanks

Here in Maryland just about anyplace that's not a national chain would install it. Open the phone and start calling...

or you could buy the GMBP... it only have 4 wires to hook up...it's hard to imagine anyone could screw that up......

the unit should come with everything you need to install it, short of the bypass module.... if you are uncomfortable beginning this job then dont... take it to a shop... at least you have the wisdom to recognize your own limitations.....

^kgerry, i already bought the viper 160XV kit, meaning i really dont want to through out more cash to get another kit and go through the hassle of selling this one ,no offense.  but i heard alot of good coming from DEI-viper, and many ppl recommended me getting this brand over the rest. 

thepencil, i will look around my area for a shop that allows walk-in items to be installed, and i hope they wont charge me an arm and a leg, otherwise i'll ask my friends who know a whole lot more of connecting wires than myself.  thanks guys for getting back to me.

The GMBP doesn't do Passlock I systems He will have to go with a PLXR . I use strictly the PLXR for Passlock I and they have been very successful for me in the past.

You will still need to purchase a bypass module even if you have the  viper 160XV . The Viper doesn't come with a bypass module for the Cavalier, but if your going to be getting a pro to do the installation, they will have a bypass module in stock for your vehicle already.
