    You can take the car to a locksmith and they can make you a key without removing anything.

    The locks are extreamly easy to replace. The hardest part is removeing the door panels without damageing them, and even that's not hard with the right tools.

    I have also taken apart an ignition tumbler and swapped the little spring loaded pins around so that a diffrent key will fit.
