I own a 99 civic dx coupe. My friend just sold me his rear ended 99 civic ex coupe for real cheap. Now my question is, How hard would it be to install the power options onto my car? I wanted to install the whole swap including cruise control, PW, PL, PM. The motor part is no problem but i have really never messed with adding power options. So any info would help.
Converting DX to EX???

I understand cruise control to be a pain in the ass, and power steering definitely will be too.
The doors are pretty easy, but I'd recommend you have someone else there to hold the glass and help out otherwise. You'll have to remove the seats and carpet in order to replace the floor harness. Fenders will also come off, and the doors get gutted. It might be easiest to remove the fuse box so you can plug in the harness too.
The moonroof would involve you cutting the entire roof skin out and welding it into the other car.

Alright well i just completed my conversion. I had to change the dash harness for the 2nd O2. And the floor harness and both door harnesss. I also had to swap over the pedal assym. in order to get the cruise control throttle cable to work and i just installed the window motors and mirrors over to my car. I used my previous door actuators from my old alarm and wired them to the factory alarm.I tried everything out and everything works really well. Now all i have left is the engine swap.
yo sweet job, how did you do it, is it easy, the guy who's doing it for me is taking 4ever!!
When you say dash harness for the 2nd O2 sensor....do you know what part or part number? I'm doing a power window, power lock, cruise control conversion and think I need this dasg harness as well as my floor harness.....thanks!Alright well i just completed my conversion.
