One word SPAL. search for them. They sell universal kits that can convert almost any roll up window into a power window. The kit comes with everything needed for like $150 or so. Solid quailty. Fast too.

I can speak from experience on this one...

It's NOT worth it to put power windows in. My car had aftermarket power windows installed when i bought it, and I promptly removed them. Honestly, this is a 2-door car - why do you need power windows? I've found them to be slower and more inconvenient than having a handle, plus, adding power adds weight.. not much, but enough. Not to mention the wiring... oh lord... the wiring...

But, if you absolutely must have them, the aftermarket manual-to-power kits are your best bet, since otherwise you'd have to get your hands on a LOT of parts that can be pretty expensive.

Here is the link. They have tons of cool innovative products. About the power window kits , they're super easy to install all you need is a drill gun. The only bad thing I can think of is that they are a little noisy. Highly acceptable if you never had power windows before. Super fast. My friend has been running them for over 3 years and no problems. It is almost to easy.
