The rear key hatch is your last resort...but if you shave it, there is no way to get in.

I have done it and it was a great mod. Did the whole thing for about $100 (handles and cost to paint them).



Well worth it.

Smoove indeed.

But, should the battery die, do I really wanna climb over the back seat to get in?

i did that to my Integ..and it makes the car look very clean...

but i wouldn't shave the key hole in the trunk tho....in case your battery die or your alarm die, you can always go in from the trunk

True. That's why I check the battery level every now and then... and change my alarm remote battery once a year

You can get a door popper with some type of pull string....you can ask an alarm dealer ( I think).

go ahead and do the mod. even if your battery dies, you can always pry back your window and stick your hand through it to unlock the door. or you can be smart and hide a switch somewhere to unlock your doors from the outside.
