quite a bit. you'd need motors, switches, relays, new door panels, wiring harnesses, and i think tracks. it's do-able but i dont know how work intensive it would be...

why dont you get a door from a junk yard that is already power, i dont think it would be that hard to hook u a relay swich, just power, acc, and ground... lead one to the battery one to the chassis and one to the motor.. that all lead into the swich

I have a 99 ss camaro and its fairly low miles and the window motors are already having trouble. Its not that hard to roll up windows and lock the doors manually is it?

naw, i have a saturn with manual windows also, and everytime i get in it i wish i were in the maro cause it doesnt have power windows. gotta reach over and roll down the window, and if someone pulls up next to you and wants to talk you have to look all loser-ish and climb over your seat. manual windows are not pimp...

I have manual windows.....frankly there are better things I could buy for my car than electric windows and locks......

well, for third gens at least, power windows take away your ability to mount speakers in the doors. with manuals you can put up to a 6.5in speaker in the lower front corner of the door, with power windows the electric motor sticks into that space and makes it impossible.

the guy i got my camaro from fixed that problem he's got power windows and speakers :)
he just used some magnets and stuck it down as far as it would go so the speaker may stick out like 4 inches but doesn;t get in the way
