Can I put power things into this?

Is it possible to add at least a power trunk lock, power passenger side window, and power passenger door lock to an 88 camaro sport coupe that has manual everything with nothing power?

Its is possible to put power everything in your car if you have the time and money. The power trunk parts are hard to come by. Just scout the junkyards. Power windows and door locks can be obtained by buying a kit from JC whittney or taking parts from a doner car. Why do you want to only put power parts in the passenger side?

if i had to guess, i would say he means if it's a big deal putting them in, he would at least like to have the passenger side. the reason i want power windows is for the passenger side. it's such a pain in the a$$ when you drop someone off, they leave your window down, and you don't realize till you're driving, you get cold, so you have to reach way over and try to roll it up while just barely peeking over the dash.

I personally would suggest snatching the parts off a donor car from the junkyard.

You might have to becomse a little creative when installing them.

Actually for the doors it might be easier to replace the doors with the power windows & Locks. & paint them to your cars color.

The rear hatch power release looks straight forward as far as I can tell, the lock mechanisms all seem to be the same, but the power Solinoid just bolts on. One bolt. & run the wires.
