my car currently doesn't have either. I've read the spal window conversions are nice and decent. (decent price too).....and as for the door locks, I don't have a clue what to go with......
why not stock, well the parts aren't exactly cheap and don't come with instructions...
any help out be great!
thanks!

Power windows
I wouldn't use spal. They will last for a while but you will spend more time adjusting and repairing them. you will eventually pull them out. I would look for electric life. A little more money but a better product, or see if you can get the factory set up out of a wrecked car.
Power door locks
Electric life Jegs number 366-LK01-10-122 $94.99

I bought the SPAL 3300-0030, which is the HD Window kit. I had to use the dremel tool to rework the slots on the door crank spindle to get an adaptor to fit, but that may have just been mine. Conversion wasn’t hard, but with a lot interruptions it took me a weekend from start to finish. Without interruptions, I would guess maybe 4 to 6 hrs.
Very quite and smooth. One of my future projects will be to see if a stock window switch can be used.
If you do this, it is a good time to clean, lubricate, and inspect the window workings.
Lesson I learned. . . be sure to get the heavy duty motor. The smaller less expensive units are for flat windows and won't last. The curved windows require more power.
