if your factory locks have been removed it could be a mission cause they come to fit in the particular hole that your stock locks come out of. you'll have to put the same shape hole in pretty much the same place.

if the holes are still there its easy, probably take an hour at the most unless you've got a huge door speaker install which makes it hard to get the door cards off.

what do you mean by removed? are the holes still there or are the locks shaved?. If shaved just get the universal fit kit solex do and you will have to make new holes. not too hard to fit in a custom place with a bit of custom work to the linkages.

The locks are easy to fit... it's the door trims you've gotta battle with...
If you've got an alarm then flag it... Those solex locks aren't much more secure than normal locks unless the area around you factory lock is reinforced. THen they might be worth their spit...

I don't claim to know everything... That doesn't mean it isn't true....
