Nice! What kit and what size poppers did you use?

Hope you're installing a fail safe switch somewhere also, in case your battery or remotes go dead. smile.gif

It was an AVS universal kit. Heres the company that i got the kit from, http://www.suicidedoors.com/ . Fail safe isnt ran yet but it will be soon. just got the driver side primed today. The kits instructions where decent. I had to take the doors off to run the wires. All in all it was fairly easy install.



When i was tack welding the sheet metal into place or from the grinding, I warped the door panel and had to use a lil bit more body fill then I would have liked to. I have more to do on the doors and there ws bare metal showing and wanted to get it covered because it started to gather some kind of rust residue. Ive done a lil wet sanding on the passenger side

Does any one know what that reflective paint/vinyl/sticker that they use on the police cars?? Where the body molding used to be i didnt realize that there was holes with clips that held it on. So i used some aluminum tape roughed it up a bit hit it with some fiber filler, body filler, then primed. beercheers.gif thanks.gif

The wing i am really pround of because i had no help, installed by ME. I got the idea from a guy that has been on here before. As for the door poppers, I still need to install lil spring loaded poppers to open the door just a lil more. I have uploaded a vid to youtube just havent figd out how to post it here.
