First, just pop off the peice that is opposite the mirror up in the corner. If it has manuel window handles you will need to pop that off, there is a small pin that is behind the handle, if you push the door panel in and look you can see it, one side is open and the other is a hoop. Try to grab the hoop side and pull.Then pull the speaker grill off and there will be a couple screws. Then the one in the handle (the one you use to close the door) and the one in the other door handle (the one you use to open the door from inside) and then remove the little plastic cover around the handle and lock. Now you grab the bottom corner, closest to the fender and give a good tug, it will pop, then do that all the way around the panel, excpet for the part nearest the window. Now you will have to kinda of lift the whole panel up to free it from the window moulding. Done.

thanx LEVIII...ill know who to im when i run into trouble...

i keep my ride in the garage, its only when im out or at school that it worries me...
im thinking i should buy the club...and club to death who ever tries to F with my car

also, is it illegal to hook up a power source to the frame of your car...so that your whole
car is like a big tesla coil? you know, so you can shock the $hit out of anyone who
tries to touch your car? or am i just dreaming again?

You would create a massive short circuit out of your car. The frame (and every other metal part on your car) is ground. So if you were to run power to the frame it would simply ground and something would melt, you battery would die in minutes or it could explode.
