Yeah I've done that so many times I keep an extra key in my wallet. I found a way on the internet but I think I'll PM you just so I'm not posting ways how to break in a car over a car forum _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S

slim jims. takes 10 secs. you can use a coat hanger. but it is easier to use steel banding from pallets cut a couple of notches sand the so it wouldn't cut into anything. actually accourding to an old insurance survey camaro's ranked number one in the nation for easy brake ins back in the day. |

I just tried the method with the coat hanger, very simple and very quick. I managed to get it unlocked in under a minute on my first ever try. After a little bit of practice I managed to get in unlocked in about 10 seconds. Good luck. _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S
