If you convert your manual door panel.. you will have a big hole left in it where the crank handle currently resides. You could always fill it with a tweeter or cover it with a Fast n Furious sticker ;) J/k ok.. that WAS a joke ;) LOL

Easiest way to do the swap. Get the motors/switches/door panels/wire harness from the hinge to the door lock from a GS. Getting all of these will make it bolt-on, with no modifications.
