If you could find someone that has power options that wants to save weight and downgrade, he might trade you. You'll probably need door panels, acutators, wiring, and some relays/fuses. I've done this once on an rs Eclipse. It was really easy.

You may have to swap out your entire doors and know that you will also have to do the wiring for it too... I think that the mounting for the motor is different, but it may work? wont know untill you try tho

well.. i guess i can chime in as i have an RS and i did a full front window swap...... everything is a direct swap, there is no modifying or cutting of the front windows... i just found a thread of someone who wanted to swap.. or start your own thread.... all youll need for the swap is the motor, power window rails, door panels, wiring harness, and i think that was it.... it took me a few hours to do, but wasnt painstaking or anything... now the rear is a completley different animal, and im not gonna cut into my b-pillar..so i left them alone if you need any more help or any questions just lemme know

another idea is the 02-03 lancers have the same front doors as Evo8/9s, so that means same power windows.

why buy an RS if you want power windows? doesnt that defeat the purpose of the RS?

well not exactly.... you have to run the wiring through the door jambs and they simply plug into the harness under the dash.... just make sure to add the fuse for the power windows.. a simple mistake that cost me an hour of searching...lmao.. and as for the b-pillar...... the RS doesnt have a single wire that goes to the back door, so there was never a hole cut into the b-pillar to feed wires through..so youll have to cut an oval shaped hole and add the rubber wire cover that goes from the pillar to the door... and also, youll either have to cut and splice the wiring, or add the harness that goes basically from the dash all the way to the back of the car ..its not a simple plug and play like the front... thats why i left it alone..lol

+1. If you want more, save yourself the time and upgrade to the GSR or MR.

As stated everything to the front bolts right up. I did the PDL swap on my EX's RS. Granted I wired it up to an aftermarket alarm but it was a piece of cake
