Default Automatic door locks/windows

My girlfriend's 08 Caliber didn't come with automatic door locks or power windows. How difficult and costly would it be to convert them to Automatic?
I drove her caliber today for the first time and i have to say it was really nice. better than i thot it would be. It has a lot of pep to it.

I would say the cost of doing such an upgrade would be so high
as to negate the benits be they real or imagined.By the time you
pick up the various pieces even at used prices the labor would be
very high in regard to hours.Chryler in many cases doesn't install
the necessary wiring if the option was spec'd on assy line gate list,
example being no Musicgate/Sirius no wiring installed-saves money.

lxman1, that tint looks good. I am also looking into getting mine done. What did they charge you for that. I can get The car done with 17% for $135.

jstmahoney, you could get you girl a new head unit the factory system has a little bump in it but not very loud IMO. and install some 6x9. You will be amazed!
