what power window kit to use?
I am looking to put power windows in my 72 camaro. After some research I am more confused than before I started. Should I just buy all original regulators and motors or has anyone used a good aftermarket kit. I have been looking at the kit from electric life but have heard good and bad things about it. I would appreciate any info!

Tough to beat Nu-Relics' customer service.

Nu-Relics all the way! I installed their kit in my 47 Ford, bolted right in, perfect fit.

Thanks! That's what I love about this site. I had not even looked at a Nu-Relics kit before.

Musclerodz seems to have the best prices on Nu-Relics kits that I have found and they are a sponsor.

They use American made Delco motors. For me that is a big difference. Originally Posted by tonner

I have the electric life units in my '73, they're OK but not great. The windows go down like a rocket, fast and hard. Coming up is the problem, the motors don't seem to have enough torque or gear reduction. Coming up they are slow and weak. Originally Posted by tonner

I have a set of factory power windows but really don't like the switches and I've been told that the aftermarket switches will not hold up or work with them. I may wire up a relay system to use whatever switches I like with the factory units, but if the kit from another manufacturer is cheaper than this route I'll consider it. I will need new or rebuilt motors for the factory set-up so it will be pricey to do also. No more Electric-Life units for a second gen. for sure.Tommy Parker

For those of you with Nu-Relics, can you do the fronts first and add the rears later on (buying them separately)?

Yes... however, the four window wiring kit and swicthes would make it a little easier for the later addition, vice that running the two seperated harnesses.
