Mount the door SOLENOID in the back bottom of the door. You want to mount it as high as possible to minimize the angle but you'll quickly see that wont be real high. It will be fine.
Cut out filler pieces and weld in using a lot of small tacks and taking your time so you dont warp the surrounding metal. Grind smooth being careful not to overheat it. A "flapper" wheel works nice.
Rough up the surfaced and body fill. RAGE brand products work great. Worth the extra money. Sand smooth.
I primed everything before taking it to the guy who painted my car.
Running the electronics is up to you. I mounted the main unit in near the stock ECU and then ran wires out under the dash through the doors to each side.
Unless your paint is really nice and can be blended in by a professional you will need to repaint the whole car if you fill in the indentation behind the door which in my opinion is the only way it should be done.
Door POPPER mounted. Pretty easy to install, just remove you interior panel, drill the right size hole, and put a nut on the back. Some people have said they didnt use these but I wouldnt want to. Really helps holds the door open especially if the door is facing up hill.
