AutoLoc is a good reputable name in the automotive electronics. Different kits and different prices. http://www.summitracing.com/int/sear...onversion-kits

try a pickn pull if there is one in your area. complete doors are $50. you can swap everything, have power mirrors and the correct trim panel. Then sell the door shell to recoup some money.

Yeah - buy used ones, the when they go bad in 6 months he can do it all over again.

Suggesting a Pick N Pull is a good idea.
You can find good used parts to do the upgrades and still keep it OEM at a much cheaper price.

and your idea is..............


Price out all new stuff...one door trim panel alone is $500...maybe you would like to keep the old ones with manual door handle holes in it...its a great look.

I wouldnt bother.....Power accessories are great until they screw up, then they are just a pain.

thanks for all the help guys useful or not but I did some research and discovered a1electric was a smarter move for me. I bought 1 of their conversion kit w/ switches and got a discount on a power door lock and keyless entry combo. the install was fairly easy not too time consuming if you know what you're doing. A1 has a variety of stuff check em out
