Question keyless and power window conversion

hey guys i hope im in the right section for this. i tried looking all over it using search but found nothing on this.

i was wondering if anyone knew how or could shed some light on converting my manual windows and locks to power windows and power locks. im no electronics noob or anything but would just like an insight or advice from others that may have done this before or read something about it.

not sure what parts ill need (besides the button switch panels and wires obviously) and a while back i heard im going to need awhole new window track or something to fit the OEM regulators? i hope thats not true. if it comes down to that maybe ill just rip off some doors from a donor car lol maybe a universal set up for both?

anyways any ideas? or links?

How much do you want to spend?

To do it and make it look like stock, you'll need:
- New door panels
- Door lock and window controls w/ harnesses
- New door regulator and motor w/ harnesses
- New door lock actuator
- Lots of wire
- Time
- Patience

There are also aftermarket options: http://www.electric-life.com/index.asp

oh nice thanks! but prob. no more than 3 or 400. ya i knew most of that would need to changed. i wonder if...i could find someone parting out there car and then replace my doors with ones thats already have power locks and window, would work. With a little wiring and module with remote of course.

... Yea... the remote will be a problem. That's a separate deal and integrated with the BCM. Probably better to go aftermarket there. Regardless 3-400 is probably a bit ambitious to get everything in place.
