it is very simple to install a cd player, unscrew the screws that hold the dash trim, remove the trim, unbolt the stock deck, and unplug the wireing harness, make sure you hvae a gm wireing harnes for the deck so it will plug right in, you dont want to hardwire it like some people do. its really simple and cheap to do it yourself, at the most 30 bucks to do it yourself.

you dont have to drill through the fire wall, i ran mine through a hole on the kickplate on the pasanger side, through the door sill, into the fender and into the hood. you cant see it at all, it was easy to do, all you need to do is pop up your kickplates on the door jams the run the wire under them, not hard.

If you have never installed a system before I would advise you to have your equipment professionally intalled. For a deck, subs, and amp you should be able to get out under $150. It's nice to not have to break a sweat and worry about messing something up, plus you get the piece of mind of a lifetime warranty. Also, im sure since your father doesnt want you to install it you could convince him to pay for at least half of the installation cost...
