I tried 'jumping' the starter and it just makes a hard click noise so im wondering if the starter is bad or if I may have messed something up during the install and the starter cant turn the engine??? any one have any ideas???

So, it won't pull while testing it out of the car. If it don't pull you should be able it spin, if its slow or none at all, its bad.
Also what the condition of you cables, positive, negative and grounds. If they look bad you might wanna change them.
