I will prob eventually convert it to power windows. I like the tweeter in the crank hole idea, or i guess i could get a set of door panels from a truck w/ power windows and use the stock switches and not have holes- dono how much that would cost though eyh?!
I was gonna swap in power door panels, but after I bought a passenger side panel new (lucky cheap deal on e-bay) I changed my mind. The panel is black with Carbon Fiber inset and I have the pod for it in gray.
I decided not to spend the 180 bucks for the other side after driving a dozen or so of these trucks with the power options.
It seems my left knee rests on the extended armrest that the switches are in. Not comfortable for me. The STX/XL door panels give you lots more knee room.

Im kinda
to see that you cant get power windows on the STX. Sure the XL, but not putting them on the STX seems dumb IMO.

, but you won't get an install at Ford for an STX though
. The window kit I installed was a snap, fully assembled, literally made for this truck, bolts in to original manual mounts. Stay away from unversal kits, they are crap.. Electric-life kits are fabulous, switch kit wire harness is pre-made, plug and play with the window kit.
The hardest thing you will have to do is mount the switches, and there are many types to choose from. If you are wanting to integrate power door lock switches with your keyless, look for matching sets the same time you pick your window switches.
Crank covers are the only unsightly thing. Some people have used this location for tweeters.

For some reason you can get an XL with a 5.4, but not an STX. Go figure
