Let me know if you have any questions about the installation. You
won't, because the instructions are so darn good, but if you do for
some reason I'll be happy to answer them.
It's a quick install. Taking the door panels off and putting them back
on is like 90% of the install time.
Did you happen to buy their door launchers as well? If you ever think
you'd like such a system, I can highly recommend it. Install took a
little longer, but was still very straightforward. Surprises the heck
out of people when my doors just fly open as I'm approaching the car.
The actuators are very similar those included the door lock kit -
small and light.
