Default 4.77 gear question

So I found this deal for a reinforced 4.77 final gear, but i'm not sure of a few things...

http://www.importtuninggarage.com/motorklasse.html

1.) Where to get it installed. (not a job I would trust to just any mechanic)

2.) If it comes with all the needed parts. (I'm not sure if what is shown is all you need)

3.) What could I expect for the price of this install?

If anyone has experience with this it would be much appreciated, thank you!

Not sure how much research you did on gear ratios or this mod....so I'll ask. DO you drive lots of highway? Do you crusie a lot?

anyway.....Hardtop Guy does installs (core) and they run about $900.

Install parts are $150....and a yellow box $55.....so add that to the $380...then you just have installation labor.

yes, i have done my research on the gears, but i was interested in finding someone in the area to install, i think these dealers (like hard top guy) may be overcharging a bit...

Is he the cheapest.....probably not. However, his expertise is probably worth the extra $$.

Scott at Ballistic can give you a quote...
