What do I need for a power window swap?

I have manual windows and always thought it would be big time $$$ to do a swap since I'd need to buy new door panels with the switch cutouts in them, but I now realize my car is a bit different. I found these on Ebay, could I swap them right into my doors?



And then, what would it cost for the motors and relays? I could even just do one side at a time to save cash. Would I need anything else? And I wouldn't need the locks, I have power locks.

you can buy a kit to do power windows for like 200 at most. all you have to do is cut holes for the switches, so you can put them pretty much put them anywhere they would look good

my boy did one and its a worm driven gear, basically turns the crank. The windows are slow as hell rolling up and down.
