i need to know a good door popper kit, i have a four door but will only need popper for my front two as i can just reach in and open the rears......also when replying where can i get the kit, and approximate cost, thank you, Kyle

My friend just shaved his impala.... used SPAL poppers.... they work great!

^^^^correct have been using spal for yrs and i love that company
it`s cost effect and they last a long time
much better than auto loc

i got mine from FBI. great poppers, great people from there. i got a HEFTY discount, i think much cheaper than what bdyman paid. i got my popper for like 40 and the brain(keyless entry module) for like 20, although i didnt use the module they sent, i used the stock. but i know FBI has a lot of specials on shaved handle kits, so i'd call em up.

I didn't use poppers(springs) on mine. JUST the solenoids. and mine are 35 lb. solenoids.

and i only did the front 2. its cheaper and i rarely use my rear doors and when i do all i gotta do is reach around, the handle is RIGHT there. i might someday add some to the rear doors, but it really isnt a big deal.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM or hit me up on aim.

by the way, FBI is Fender Bender International. http://www.fbimini.com
i forget the manager i talked to when i ordered but they are all cool people there.

they have a good deal goin on right now. that doesnt include the brain. i'd sell you mine dirt cheap if you want one tho....if i can find it.

^ thats the whole kit i got. i think i even got the instructions they sent, they werent the best but then again, your average joe schmoe shouldnt be shaving door handles now should they.

oh yea, one last thing, i got mine the day after i ordered.

i paid 90 for the brainbox and soliniods and 30 for the poppers
i like to use the poppers you don`t have to but it looks so sweet when you walk up to your car the the door opens
ya joel`s right if you never did body work before don`t attempt this
you can also hit me up to if ya want to

Be prepared to be told that all the Solenoids that you can buy are pretty much made by the same company - THIS IS NOT TRUE. I completely agree with the previous posters about SPAL having a great kit, and Autoloc being not as good, though they do make a decent product. FBI Mini has one of the best priced kits that I have seen, but last time I checked they didint include a brain/control unit. If you have or are planning on doin an alarm, or any sorta keyless entry or remote starter, now is the time to do it (I would suggest the ever famous Compustar 2way system) and use that as your control unit - it will allow for a bundle of open channels to have fun with

spal is a complete kit,so is autoloc
but you get what you pay for
i have been using spal for yrs and never ever one prob with there kits
why would you want to buy this kit in piece`s???
spend the money buy spal and get a complete kit
iam spent!

lol, i'd buy the poppers from fbi and get an alarm or buy my extra keyless entry module for like 10 bucks if i was you. i have NEVER had any problems with fbi's solenoids and they cheap as hell.

fbi does have a full kit but it is more than spal's i think.

to each it`s own i guess
:thumbsup:

so the poppers in the second link that sound gave me and what brain? cuz i have stock locks,trunk, and that remote poop...... so which one.....price doesn't really matter as i am having like $1500 worth of bodywork done anyways.....

lol...see your lookin for a brain box if ya buy spal you won`t have the prob
why don`t ya pay me the money i`ll do it

[kwhauck]

i would if you lived closer......but you don't so yeah...

well....i dunno what to tell ya
:thumbsup:

[sound_xtreme]

I used the stock remote. it worked just fine. you can buy my brain from my kit if you want. it'll be a week or 2 till i get home again to get it out of the attic. so if you're in a hurry or somethin either use the stock remote, or but an alarm, go with the SPAL kit, whatever floats you bunnyin boat.

We have 15lb poppers on the 53 Buick, front doors only, with a spring, works great. (No remote, just button) Doesn't seem right having a keyless on a '53. hehe
