    Bought a cheap kit off ebay, 50 dollars. but it didnt come with any wireless features so i also ordered a keyless entry kit to solve that problem. hehe.
    it works great, so far i only have the drivers side door hooked up but i plan on doing the other one soon. the only issue i encountered is i had to use both the left side and right side signal wires to make it pop every time, i plan on finding the switch in the control box so i can remedy this issue, for right now im still testing the system to make sure it wont fail. I also plan on installing a switch that will shut off the system while the car is running so that you cant accidentaly pop the doors open while driving as that would suck lol. Also going to install a bypass button in the car just in case i lock my keys in the car. once i know it will be reliable and i get it completely set up how i want it i will remove my exterior door handles and locks and fill it all in. im doing alot of body work on her anyway so nows a good time for things like this. also removed the rubber pieces that run down the sides and i plan on doing away with my side marker lights and filling the holes in. Going for a nice smooth look.
    here are some pics i took while installing the system and a short video of it working.

    as always let me know what you think.

    as you can see at the moment i have to use one then the other button to open the door, that is because the system has a switch in it that remembers if you unlocked the car or locked it, once i remove it that wont happen.

    Doing a ton of sanding tomorrow, will likely head out and get the relays and wire and go ahead and get the passenger side installed, i have some other work to do on that door while i have it apart, like figure out why the window goes up sooooo slow and clean the button on that side so it works again.
    with any luck ill be removing my outside doorhandles and filling in the holes. :reddevil
