If i can do it, anyone can! Making people stare in the supermarket carpark is all worth it. Pretty easy to do. Had a lady and her son come and complement me on it this arvo.
Would recommend sticking a switch in to turn it off when wanted though.

Been there, done that.
You just have to remember not to lock your car from the inside until the car is running

I love unlocking mine when someone is next to the car, it freaks them out

Petrol station attendants always comment on how cool it is too.

hahaha if you say that, then you guys should stop copying me, I had all these features 10yrs ago when I brought my second car, the only different is, I also a had 2 stages sunroof closure as well hehhee
I can also control each windows by itself via the remote

I believe a big massive GT wing will improve fuel consuption. Improved down force will mean better fuel consuption. But you will get even better consuption if you put 5 subs in the boot.
