I believe you can get the power lock assembly out of an EK hatch. Don't hold me to that.
As for windows, you're on your own.
no need for sucurity.. its just a civic.. nobody will steal it and they know nothing in it has value..
J/K!
and your waisting your time at honda.. go somewhere else..

how do u guys manage to keep the car it self from getting broken into?
and honda was absolutely no help. and i tried searching it on honda tech but had no luck either. i know someone on here has to have a hatch with power doors and windows.
and honda was absolutely no help..
told you.. go to circuit city or tint and alarm shops.. hifi buys? idk but they sell universal power window and lock kits online.. just need to put it in..

EX coupes have power options and shouldn't be too awful difficult to retrofit. I started with my old hatch and put in the actuators but never got around to getting door skins.

dude come to Circuit city we will take care of you. you can even have it where your windows and sunroof close when you set your alarm.

What on earth is power locks going to change everyone? Do you mean put on power locks so you can install an alarm? If that's the case, simply wire up an alarm with a timer and switch...if the alarm isn't disingaged in the set amount then it goes off. You can wire it up to an OEM switch on the dash, hidden switch somewhere, or even wire it to the dome light...doesn't really matter.
Note: There is like 3 keys that fit the door lock on 92-95 civics, next time you're at a meet try swapping keys with your buddy and unlock your door...1 in 3 chance of it working. Trust me, we've done it at Integra meets and it's supposedly 2 or 3 times as many keys. There's way more tumblers on the ignition so it will not work there, you have a better change of winning the lottery.

power locks arent going to slow anybody down if they really want to get in your car. hell if even heard about folks breaking into hondas with a tennis ball with an x sliced in it. you just need to be cautious of your surroundings. ive been robbed numerous times. now ill only drive my hatch if im standing by it or putting it in a driveway or a garage. nothing is fail safe. multiple kill switches helps. let people know you are looking for a reason to legally kill someone. that might help too

What's odd is that when I was going to GSU I had a Brand new Elantra with PPI, JL Audio, Infinity, Kenwood system. I never had anyone to break into my car for the equipment. I even saw window glass one day in the garage where someone had obviously had the glass broken. I had my 95 Civic Coupe for 6 years and not one person tried to steal or break into the vehicle. I guess GOD was watching over the car. I mean I have left doors unlock several times. Granted I don't club or anything like that and never really go to malls but I have been very blessed. Going to see how the H22Accord will do now. A friend asked me "you are going to get an alarm, right?" I looked at him and said I really have not thought about it, really.

its just risky where i stay (GWINNETT). the first thing i put on my accord was an alarm and a kill switch and yet i still get paranoid at night.
do coupe doors bolt straight up to hatches?
