I read a thread of a member that had them but it didn't say what brand they used. I've seen 1 or 2 coupes but no ZRS.

I'm going to get a quote and see how much it would cost me. I'll keep you guys updated

I like it. I'm not into mods but i'd consider that. Looks sleek.

That looks really nice. How does the door just pop open with the fob? probably included in the kit?

I had another car shaved. You install an exterior locking device (button) that you can push and it opens the door. Also, on your key FOB you can press a button and it opens the door. I would not recommend if your in a climate thats cold. It will ice up and then it can get complicated to get into your ride.

JLbrenne is correct, you either program it into your current FOB or many times have an additional one. Which unlocks the car and a spring pushes the door out slightly which allows you to reach in and pull the door open.
Having a charged battery is a requirement, but for most who drive everyday or at least once a week it should not be an issue.
