I would like to get rid of the power windows too. what models had manual windows? I'm tired of the motors and switches failing and it's too hot to not have the windows down!

I've seen manual windows in most models. Don't think I've seen any it a GTA but thats about it.
Tour the junkyard and it should be easy to find the regulators for manual windows. Bring a cordless drill, will need to remove a few rivets.

thanks guys. i want to replace them just becaus they work crapy, seal with the weather stripping crapy, and just add weight. I just dont think it will be that big of a deal just to do it by hand.

I have power and love it, but yeah, those are a really good set of reasons why to swap tp manual. I might do the swap too, once I get the lambo door kit in. less wires and wieght in the door.

I know it will not save much weight, thats why it was my last and obviously least important point.
