install power windows, or no?!

well, i purchased a entinre black interior from a friend in ILL t weeekends ago... but i have hit 2 bumps...

bump #1) my cvar came with 1 solid rear seat back, while the black interior has the split rear seats. no bnig deal... i seen a tech article on this...

bump 2) my car had NO options except for t-tops and a/c (well a/c was more standard) no power seats, and no power windows...
this black interior has both, powewr drivers seat and power windows, so i guess my questions are...


1)how do i hook up the pwer to the seat without frying anything?
1-a) is it worth the hassle?

2)how hard is it to put electric windows in my car, since it didnt originally have power windows?
2-a is it worth the hassle?

thanx for the help

jon

I've hooked up power, Windows, Locks and Seats to mine.

Power Windows: Not hard to install just takes time.
Power Locks: Since your installing the windows. also eazy.
Power Seats: Also not hard.

Its worth it.

The hard parts were trying to get the wires from the door to the car. If you can handle that then that a piece of cake.

While your at it you can install LEDS on the door for your alarm.

Good luck on your project
