I dont think 4 door panels will fit into your car unfortunately. But heres a link that may help you clear up any questions you might of had. It has basically a step by step of how to do a power window/lock/mirror conversion.

no it wont work the windows are a couple cm shorter so they wont go all the way up nor will the door skins fit.

I have done this on my 94 hatch. you ll need the regulators from a either a USDM ex which is the equivilant of our Si do to it right. when purchasing the regulators make sure they say SR3 (two door) not SR4 (four door) your second option is DC integra regulators but youll have to switch the slider with your civic one to mount the window. your last option is 92-95 JDM civics with the power features their is however two problems you ll lose the auto roll down function as it will be on the pass side (RHD) and you ll still have to make your own harness if you want control of both windows from the drivers seat.

as for the controls you can use what ever you want... I am currently using JDM type R power window controller just make sure the wires are in the right spots before plugging it in or you ll blow the switch. to get the switch to fit into the door skin simply plan the location of the switch and the handle and cut your holes accordingly...I put the switch were the handle was and relocated the handle below it.

The power lock actuators on the other hand is exactly the same in any 92-95 civic just screw them on and connect them to your alarm = keyless entry is better then power locks anyways.

to go about this the right way after you find a set of regulators go to the junk yard and pull out as much of the power door harness as possible for a 4 door. I was able to get the both door harnesses plus about one foot of the wires that pass through the fenders on each side and I simply used other wire to spice the two parts of the harness back into one. It is important that you understand how the harness works before trying to install it. you ll have to modify the harness to work as a two door version but all you simply have to do is elliminate the two sets of 3 wires that go to the rear doors. You could use the 4 door switch and the harness with out any modification but you ll have two switches that don t do anything but you could hook them up. I have the remianing switches control my Power folding mirrors.

If you need to know anything else just let me know.

the link post above is the one I used to figure it out. all the parts you ll need minus the regulator (motorized window lifters) are there. the whole system mirror, window, and locks all get their power from the plug behind the fuse panel so if you have an si you ll have the plug but it will be short a view wires.
