    Default 92-95 civic VX hatch - manual to power door swaps? and more

    i just got a civic vx hatch the other day and im looking to take my complete manual door (mirror, door, door panel, window) off and bolt a complete power door in. i was wanting to see what all i needed to do it, and to double check on if i can use 92-95 civic coupe ex doors. i know i will need the mirror adjusting switch that goes in the dash, but other than that, what all will need to be done for wiring? will i have to wire it into the fuse and relay board, along with getting the relay for it, or can i just wire it up and connect the power wires to another power?

    along with all that what all needs to be done to put the rear window wiper blade in?

    i think you should leave it off to save weight or get a new car w/ all of that. People get the vx to save weight. just my .02

    i got the VX for good gas mileage and its the only hatch around. i didnt get it so i could build a super light/fast hatch. adding some power accessories isnt going to add enough weight to make a big enough of difference in gas for me to care. and if i did get the car to build its definetly not going to make a big enough diffence in track times for me to care.

    instead of doing all that seperately with the doors i have i changed it to just swapping out with complete power doors so all i will really have to do is wiring, which isnt a problem to me. i dont know what the price of 2 full power doors is running these days. 150-300?
