yes they will. but think the sunfre doors have holes in them from the side moldings

They will bolt up fine, just take into consideration that you will need the original p/l remote for the doors, and you will also have to rewire the locks and windows.
Also you will need to slightly modify the door skins directly underneath the side mirror adjuster. They stick out to much and the door won't close properly. All I did was close the door as far as possible, used a sharpe and marked around the dash where it interfears, cut out the plastic on the door skin, and fiberglassed it. Worked great and actually flows well with the dash.

only the sunfire GTs. the SEs don't have holes from the side moldings.

basically, any coupe doors from 95-05 will work.

Ok Devin,
The power lock remote cant i just buy a stock one from eithier ebay or gm at the wort cause senario ?


ok let me clear up what i'm planning to do... i have a 97 cav w/manual locks and windows which sucks so it it easier at my local junkyark to find a set of sunfire doors w power windows and locks rather than pulling my hair out out locking for a cav w this set of options.. then im using the cavalier interior panels for the doors .. do you guys see what i'm saying ?

Thank You Guys for all of your input and wisdom ...

sorry no sig yet ....

You will still have the window handle. Plus the door will be a different color or different shade most likely (only if you pull). Pull the window motor and door lock assembly and drop them in your cavalier. www.rockauto.com has a lot of stuff you could probably buy the motors new if you wish. Make sure you get the center console switch. And as for the door lock keyfob, you may need to buy an after market system. Install poppers too if you want....might as well do it up right.

That is all I used. Took out the old mounting bracket for the cavalier and tossed it. Mounted the sunfire door skins.
Iv still got to swap in my power windows and what not, maybe someday when I get bored.

And you can use an aftermarket or replacement door remote, but I believe you have to get GM to program it?
Or maybe it comes with instructions I have no idea.
