I think all you need is the actuators and the buttons to put them up and down... how hard it is to do I couldn't tell you.

You might have to get new door panels on the inside to put the buttons in and get rid of the wheely thingy.

I looked up how to do this for my 99-00. It seemed like WAY to much work, and how they got their hands inbetween the door metal, I dont no. I was looking at doing this but gave up...for now.

Its a good project tho, I would say do it if you got a bit of time.

yeah i think i will try and do it. i saw a picture of a guy who had set his up right underneath his stereo. looked plain and simple. but i know nothing about wiring cars so that will be the hardest part.

I was thinking the same thing. I would love to have the luxury of having a small sporty coupe, with the luxury of being able to roll down the back 2 windows. If you ever get around to doing it, let me know i would be interested in doing it myself
