Has anyone tried this electric window kit from XV Motorsport for their Charger?  They say it's a complete bolt on set up and it includes everything you need... just wanted to see if anyone has bought this kit as I'm thinking of trying this set for my project car...

Let Stuart chime in. Someone used GM ones on his and made it work, 'm sure it was way cheaper than that set up.

Does electric life have a good kit for our cars?   do you have a site link for them?

I have that kit in mine, and I'm quite pleased with it. They are GM switches, but if you ever owned a GM with those particular switches you know that they were the last part of the vehicle to fail. I'll include some photos of the switch install if I have any.

All the big custom houses use them, but I like them because they are a company that specializes only in auto electrical.  They don't do it as one of their sidelines.  XV's kit might be just fine, but it's just my personal preference.

somebody suggested that the XV kit is just somebody else's repackaged. I didn't know of any options at the time, I'd investigate that and the prices before buying. Either way they work great, and the GM switches are not a negative. If you don't like them, you can spend time and $ on some OEM Chrysler switches, if you can find them.

Nu-Relics are the company that makes the kit that XV sell.
I did use the ElectricLife kit for my front doors on my 68.
They worked ok, but they was a little weak.
Big difference in speed when the doors was open or closed.
I would go with the Nu-Relics.
