Does this retrofit kit include the A Pillar tweeter ports or do those need to be ordered separately? MiniUSA shows the kit at $938 installed- $699 for just the kit. How would they know what a local dealer charges for installation??

 

Here is a picture

And my ETK shows it contains the parts that is listed in the attached picture

The alpine kit part number is 65412153318. Parts.com has it listed for $482 and DDMTuning has it for $512.

The reason that site tells you the install cost is because the part number has an associated installation time (1.5 hours) and whatever the dealer charges per hour.

I just don't know about the Apillars, doesn't list them....

Finally found on RealOEM!!!!!

You need to order the parts shown on that page and it depends if you have DSC or not in your car.

 

You are AWESOME. Thanks. So I DO need to add the A pillars which my dealer tells me is $71 per side.

The one A pillar from parts.com is $65.

Also doing more digging, the above additional parts is the "under the passenger seat box" that the DSC and sat tuner fit in so depending on your specific car you may not need those (my car has that box installed since I have DSC).
