junkyard is your friend. Rails, relays, motors, switches, wiring and panels from an EX.
Shouldn't be more than $100 depending on how pricey junkyards are around your area.

None powered civics have everything you need already to convert to power windows so its not hard. All you need to do is to come up with the parts. Oem Ex coupe parts would be best.

Bout making power door locks I think its a different story. The last coupe I bought had power door locks with my alarm. But they had to install poppers to do that.

I would just do the power window convertion and leave the door lock manual.

For the power door locks, it'll be set up through your alarm, but you just need to swing into the place that you buy alarms from and pick up some door accuators. They ran me about 20 bucks in my last Civic, but then I was an idiot and misplaced them. :D

so the windows i just set up like an ex just run all the wire... not to hard. for the doors, the alarm installation should take care of it?

Damn! That's a great find. They should sticky this.

Those are the exact same poppers I had on old coupe.
