if your current doors are in good condition (ie. no rust) just get the hardware for the GS setup. finding good condition doors on a car whose latest model was manufactured 10 years ago is becoming very difficult. the other thing is that you should know that the GS has power ASSISTED locks. that means a switch in the driver's door and an actuator in the passenger's door. if you want true power locks you're gonna have to buy aftermarket actuators. best bet is to try and find cheap GS doors with working window motors and snag the motors and door panels. you'll see dtuff on ebay every now and then.

good luck.

It may be more advantageous to simple trade or sell your car for a GS. Wanting power everything may quite possibly require different wiring harnesses to support your requirememts. The time, effort, energy and cost may balloon to an unrealistic level that starting with a GS may be the better option. Not to mention you'll be getting the V6 and a beefier suspension. Save all of that money that would go into all of those upgrades and go straight for the GS, you may find that it may be cheaper in the long run and at the very least, a lot less headaches. IMO.
