Looks awesome. Where are you going to relocate the handle/window popper? I've always loved the way this looks. I wanted to do it myself but it wasn't practical for the wife/kids.

the truck has about 80k miles on it i'm not for sure at the moment i did a escalade dash swap and as of now i got 15k on the new dash...

i got solenoids on the window and hatch, went to the bone yard and got them off a mercury cougar trunk they work like a charm i will try to post pics of the set up

pics would be great! Always though this would be a cool mod, just dont have the know how/skills/tools to do it and dont want to pay for anyone to do it
