Door Lock Actuator Replacement?

Anyone in the SoCal area familiar with replacing the door lock actuator motors in the 03 coupes? Both my passenger side and driver side went out and I would rather not take it to the dealer since my warranty is over. Seems like a simple DIY but I'm not familiar with this type of install at all. I'm willing to pay someone to do the replacement for me. Or if can anyone refer me to a shop that can do the replacement at a reasonable price, that works too. I'll have the new door lock actuator motors with me. Let me know if anyone can help!

I'm in too! heh, my passenger has been on and off for the last 2 months or so, I finally got around to buying one for $130 from the dealership. Havent installed it yet though, I'll let the alarm guys do it. But I would definitely like to know if a simple fix exists for it since I think it's gonna happen again very soon to my driver side.

Ive read that the bolt on is simple but removal of the door panel and window is a bitch. Anyone up for the challenge?

Is there a DIY or a set of instructions that shows how to disassemble the door to replace the actuator? Does anyone have one of those g35 dealer manuals?
