Power windows in a Camaro is a cool option, but they are a real let-down. By the time you buy all the parts, and either install them or pay to install them, it's not worth it- unless you HAVE to have power to run Marquez, Fesler or other panels.

I have installed nearly 50 sets in Camaros over the years and am VERY good at adjusting the windows. Nonetheless, unless I was putting them in a '67, I'd try to talk the customer out of it. Electric Life is not the only culprit, all of the kits seem decent at best. As long as you know what to truly expect going in, you may still decide to convert to power windows. The key is understanding that they will not function at the level of a new BMW, Chevy, Honda.....If you're cool with that, then fine let's do it. 50% of potential "converts" opt out when I show them a set in another car- especially convertibles. The rest seem fine with it when we're done because we've set realistic expectations and both parties are on the same page. After all, communication & clear expectations are paramount when building these types of cars.

It's important to understand that just because you've spent good money for a part doesn't necessarily ensure that it's gonna satisfy!!
