I imagine you could just retrofit your original doors with the power equipment, but the hard part will be rewiring the car to run the new stuff. I am not sure exactly what you will have to do, but I imagine it will involve adding relays and running new wires and switches.

I bet you could swap the doors and use the actuators with your own switches, it might be hard to get them to work like OEM but you should get all the functionality. Although with the aid of an FSM you'd have all the pinouts, so maybe it would work. I converted my hatch and fuel door releases to electric, using actuators with my own control wiring.

good thought, that would probably be about the easiest solution. Now that I think about it, swaping the doors would probably be much easier than retrofitting your stock ones.
