Default Any experiences with power window conversion kits?

I want to add original looking power windows to a non-power window 72 Lemans sport convertible. Any feedback on which company to go with? Was thinking of the kit Ames sells since I usually have good luck with them.

I second what Marxjunk says and if you are not in a rush you can likely find original used GM stuff which is superior quality.

If you decide to go GM original note that any power window setup from any GM 70 to 72 A body two door hardtop or convertible is the same and will work in your 72 convertible. You need the four regulators with the motors on them, the wiring harnesses with the rubber baffles that go through the door jams, the relay that bolts in near the driver kick panel and a circuit breaker to replace the fusing bar in your fusebox now. You will also need two sizes of hole saws for the front of the doors and the jam on the side of the cowl.
