im pretty sure its way more trouble than its worth, and besides, you have a lighter car without them.
im guessing it would cost you around $500 to do it all, maybe more

you can buy a kit online i think. Comes with the motor and everything but i'm sure you need to heat shrink the wires and hook it up appropriately... you would also need to get the panel from a power window S13 so you have the switches... unless you want to use the generic ones that come with it.
i'd stick to manual windows... like he said it's lighter.
if anything go with the power locks... that's pretty convenient.

well having both manual and power windows, i have to say i would kind of rather have the power because its just to damn convenient. Manual makes you feel poor and dumb. Like when girls holler at you, you have to reach over and roll down your window, then pop back up and say HEY!!!!!!. Yea way to long of a process. By that time there talking to the douche bag in the kited civic behind you with the neons lol(if girls only knew). But i dont mind the roll down at all, its just inconvenient at times. My whole car is almost stripped out(yes headliner too lol, it was kinda saggy anyway) so i dont mind the roll down for that weight reason. But i mean it really doesnt matter unless your a super hard core racing master sensai teacher emperor king driver(which im not claiming to be, i just like having no interior i think it looks cleaner lol im wierd). I mean whats power windows weigh 20lbs at the most.....thats like what .00000000000001 of your et lol. If your fast your fast....power windows arn't going to hold you back.
You dont have to buy new doors. Just buy all the brains that work the power windows and get some power door panels. You could just cut out a whole in your current ones, but you would still have the roll down handle lol. You could trick people that away though??!!??!!??!!?!?!

yep... i'd love automatic locks and windows....
haha.. my car is manual EVERYTHING... transmission, locks, windows, human anti-lock braking, and human cornering w/o hicas... lolz...
probably the power steering is the only one i'm really thankful for. countersteering would be a bitch...

you reallly have to buy THE DOORS ? can't you just get the motors and regulators used from another 240 ? and mount them on your car ? switches and electrical would probably be the more difficult part.... unless you can just wire up the switches independently without having to hack into the car's main harness...

no the door panels on the inside... but that's only if you want the switches to operate your windows and locks...
you don't REALLY need them...
