i was quoted $65 installed in my local shop...however, that is on the 711 series, not the 712. they told me that its pretty much same quality and the numbers are just the production number. i guess the 712 is the newer model.



thanks for the info. i will get them this weekend and i will let you guys know how it goes.



later.

I've go them on my Neon and I really like them. They stick pretty good. I'll definately be picking up some for my 7 once I get finished with the turbo conversion. :bigok:

I've got these on my TII and I love them. They do feel like they want to slide around pretty bad when they are cold, but once you get them heated up they really shine.
