There are a couple of people on this board that have it done. I asked the same question but didnt really get the answer I wanted to my question. I want to know what kind of kits you guys got (the brands name), my local shop told me the ones they were using werent dependable and I want something that will last. tia

Me and my bro did it a couple months ago, it wasn't that hard. He did all the wiring since he works at Circuit City (can you say hook up) The kit was some professional one - the motors are strong and the bracket is sturdy as hell compared to the stock ones. The kit came with two pods for the switches - they cover up the window crank hole. The hardest part was lining up the tracks on the window which takes two people and was a bizznitch, but I like em alot. Its cool not having to reach all the way to the over side of the car just to talk to someone.

I did. You cant put tweet in the holes there cause the electric motor stuff hookes directly to it! You just have to live with the caps that they give you. It is about a 2.5 hr install by a fair installer, and a 1 hr job by a good installer. Expect it to be fairly expensive, mine was. $400 including parts and labor. Your probly wondering what brand to get. I have Spalls, and have had no problems with it. I hear DEI makes a really good kit also. While your in there might as well have em install power locks and a keyless entry. My total for both including parts was $700 out the door. O if your wondering how fast it is, they are faster than the facory ones. Email me at kevjoh60@hotmail.com if you want some pics of the whole install done! Here is a teaser for now.

Like I mentioned ealier, they do go faster than the factory ones. But one downside of them is they are quite a bit louder than the factory windows. I even put 10 mil plastic to deaden the sound and it is still loud. I shouldn't say "loud" but it is defenitly not a "quiet" as the factory ones. RxR_Eclipse out.

I am going to take pics and post who makes the kits as soon as I get my car back from the shop. It's getting assembled and hopefully painted this weekend. It's been a long journey but it was well worth it. Pics will be posted once everything is done.....please be patient
