shit I imagine it would be pretty difficult, to wire up. Not only would you have to run 8 wires in for the windows and know how to wire them up correctly you would also need power, ground, and wiring up of some realys for the door locks that your car is not even equiped with.

Unless you are good at wiring I wouldn't attempt it have fun running the wires through the dash and the door jams they don't just plug in . you can take it to good stereo shops but they will still butchor up your wiring. I suggest leave it alone and if you must have them sell your car and buy another.

Personally, I'd check the wiring in the doors. As I recall, the wires are all there, but there may be an extension from a connector in the center of the door to the power lock solenoid. If this is true, you just need to get the right extension harness (which would be on the '90 door. Next, I'd run to the local library and get a copy of the wiring diagram. Very helpful for stuff like this. This will allow you to check for the wire colors.

If you have to install the wiring, it all depends on how good with wiring you are. I'd do it, but I installed a factory alarm into a tbird (relay's, wiring, keypad on the door) without even a second thought. I had to cut several wires and crip/solder them back together. I used heat shrink tubing to insulate them. This is the type of thing you may run into. But first, check your existing door to see if there any connectors floating around in them.
