check.
check.
and check.

I got all the switches, wiring harnesses, and the top and bottom ends of the boots. however, wiring was a mutha! the Haynes manual just wasnt cuttin the mustard, the diagrams were for a "typical civic" and didn't color match too well. also, the ex coupe doors aparently have a different shape to the inside, because the hardest part was getting the harnesses and boots plugged into the door, and have the door close, on my VX.

and word to the wise, should anyone look into a similar conversion, the power window and power mirror hot wires are the same color, yellow wire red stripe. and no diagram that I found differentiated the two as to which plug in the harness they come from. so I spliced em, as I went without the power mirrors.

either way, final rating, tough job, a 4 on a scale of 5 in difficulty, 3 of 5 on time consumption, and witht the junkyard price I got ($240 for EVERYTHING, panels, switches, motors, wires, harnesses, bolts, ) 2 of 5 as far as being expensive. (the lower the better on the price scale)

is it worth doing yourself? yep. plus its cool to have a VX with OEM power windows and locks, pretty trippy. sorry no pics. but not much to take pics of except before and after pictures, and I think we all know what the inside of a civic looks like.
