Why not? Its a hassle to open both doors and windows without power, Plus no use for a alarm.

If you like changing the motors, go ahead. They're subject to fail.

It's your money and your car, and you can do what you want with it. However, I'd do a search on power window motors and see all the posts about them failing.

There are retrofit kits out there so you can use the manual regulator.
But if you want to do it the stock way you going to have to replace the regulator then your going to have to make up a power harness.
I'm sure it's not going to be an easy job to do but it can be done.
Also I believe that the aftermarket window Motors don't have the problems that the GM ones do.

Hey bro, I got everything you need - regulators with motors, switches, express down module, harnesses. And you know where I live, even though you don't know how to get here. LOL

I'm ready to sell the gray seats too, and this interior I have, cheap!
