Look through an issue of SCC or Super Street. There's always an ad for adding power windows/locks etc. to your car. I think it's called powerloc or something like that. Or you could try getting your hands on a set of EX doors of the same gen of your car and swapping that in.

i think puttin in aftermarket power windows is easier then doin oem. doin oem requires to swap a bunch of stuff, the quickest way to go is swap the whole door, then run the wires and such. or u can swap the rails and such but its a lot of work, i skip on it when i had the chance to pick up all the oem pw stuff up for free cuz my boy total his ex but didnt want to, rather just leave it alone.

Default Be Careful...

My glass guy told me that doing power windows yourself can be dangerous. Most cars use a motor to move a spring loaded arm to raise/lower the window, when you take the motor off the spring-loaded arm goes flying and can seriously injure you, he said he doesn't do power windows anymore because several of his employees have been injured.

This is news to me, he probably stopped doing them cause there's alot involved, not because of injuries. Not one PW system i've ever seen/worked on had a spring loaded mechanism. Many sharp and pointy things lurk inside doors though.
