yah you will never find an OEM complete door, and it will cost a mint from the dealer to peice it all together. Best bet is aftermarket actuators.

And no your is not wired for power doors. You will have to competely gut your interior to lay out the power window wire harness, unless you have a shop to a hack job on your wireing to get it working... not recommended considering your car is brand new.

Check out the affiliates .... I can't remember what his place is called but his Name is Jay ... I think the place is called Audio Haven or something like that. Its fairly cheap too about $45 or so per window depending. THat is a much better solution.

im guessing its $45 for the install because a power window kit alone is gonna be $150-250 easy. You could look around for some doors, might not be as hard as u think. Best bet is to trade in ur car though if the trade in isnt gonna cost u like a couple grand.
