The one piece style is definitely easier than the bow style. That said, it's 100x easier with another person helping.

I just installed mine yesterday. Looks great.

Looking great! I’m jealous as my car should be at that stage this coming year. I like the mod with the window relays. Was that a kit you picked up?

Thanks!

The power window relays are something I made. I think someone made a kit at one point, but haven't seen one lately. It's pretty easy to make. I basically copied this thread when building the harness

I thought they made them, but I figured I'd make my own for a few bucks. For anyone thinking about doing it, I 100% recommend it regardless of if you buy a kit or build it yourself. I haven't seen faster 2nd gen windows. The stock setup is slooooooow!

It's soooo worth it! Makes them operate almost like modern power windows. One of the best things I've done.
