D.I.Y after market power windows install I have a 99 camaro with no power anything . So here is what I did .
First ordered a universal power Window kit ($75 shipped)
Here is what the motor looks like
Next I had to cut two holes
Then I connected the supplied brackets to the motor
Then mounted the motor in the door and connected the other supplied brackets to the other end of the motor .
It comes with black flat caps to cover up the part where the original handle goes but I put some chevy caps I had laying around. The switches come with the kit. And I also just added the trans am door panels
After that just wired it up with the supplied wiring harness. All in all it was a easy install .I looked around for a install like this on this generation camaro but couldn't find one , so here is one . Hope this helps people with no power windows

Everything is working perfect still . I plan on getting another door panel so I can hide the spinning part on the passenger side like I did on the driver side .I can post a video just give me a few days . I just got my appendix taken out so I can't do anything rite now.

Electric-Life makes a bolt in kit for '93-'02 F-bodies. It replaces the whole regulator assembly. I've had it in my '95 Camaro (originally manual windows) for over 5 years with no issues. My power windows work so well that two of my friends have replaced their stock power windows with the same aftermarket kit.

For a simple bolt in kit designed to fit our cars with no cutting required I think the price is fair. In the time I've had this power window conversion kit in my car friends of mine with factory power windows have replaced their stock motors 2 or 3 times. I don't care if stock motors are cheap or even free (with a warranty) it still sucks when the damn things crap out with the window halfway down (or up if you're an optimist) in the rain. And if your car has factory power windows you don't even need to buy the switches (sold seperately) or do any wiring, just change the plugs on the ends of the factory harness.
