Default Manual Window Conversion?

Is it possible to put manual wind up mechanisms in the R? I think that the early LS might have had them, but I am not really sure. Has anyone done this with their R or GSR?

Thanks

It solves the problem with slow windows Maybe some weight reduction too.

Yes, it is for weight. I was thinking of replacing the glass with lexan, but the real weight is in the motor etc.. My car is very seldom driven on the street, but I still am not ready to gut out the doors. I was thinking of the lexan windows, manual wind and a simple flat door panel.

I personally don't believe in power windows in two-door cars.
