I used that exact kit from that exact company. It was very simple. to install

Don't forget to order switches http://www.a1electric.com/catalog/cat_switch.htm

A relay http://www.a1electric.com/Merchant2/mercha...uct_Code=RELAY1

And rubber boots for the wires passing through the door hinge area http://www.a1electric.com/Merchant2/mercha...ct_Code=Boot-Sm

i'm going to use 60's t-bird window switches in mine, they are round and just about the size of the chrome washer behind the window cranks. here's a link to what they look like

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=4504442184

it will look much better when it's cleaned up, but it is the perfect size. i will probbaly run a couple of gm style switchs inside the console box so i can roll the windows down from the driver seat, a lot more work but i think the look will be very clean. i might try to find out if i can just run a toggle switch or seomthing in the console that will allow me to use the single driver side switch to control all of the windows. not sure exactly how i would do it, though
