The camaro I'm thinking of buying does not have power windows (or mirrors for that matter). I was wondering how hard would it be to put power windows into it. I was thinking find doors from a junkyard with the same color as the car, then get a console piece that has the buttons. How hard would the wiring be? Is this just a stupid idea? Should I deal with the windows as they are.

 

I add power windows to my car.

If you do add power windows you might as well add the power locks too..

Good Luck.

So the wiring wouldn't be that hard? Would I just have to run wire(s) from the motors in the door to the switches in the console? Do I need a relay of somekind?

 

Wiring was not that hard. No relay. But you also need a power source. I used the fuse box for power.

 

I'm also going to be adding power windows/locks to my car. I had to goto GM to get some wiring diagrams though, it was free. I couldn't find anything for wiring on the net.

No relay for the windows, but you need one for the locks.

 

This is for an 85 camaro...

... all years of both models are pretty much similar.
