That sounds right... that's the price I had in mind, but it was
plug-and-play I think. I also expect that there was some profit margin as
well, as you state. So maybe the $40/side is sort of a DIY kit and not a
bolt-on?
FWIW, the aerostar mod won't work on late model cars, as the window
mechanism is different. I bought the Aerostar motors and took my door
apart, but there was no material to attach the motors to. There was only
air where the bolts should attach, so I put everything back together again.

The unit is a fairly standard one that if I recall correctly can be
had for ~$40 a side and then some minimal fab work required if you
are so inclined.
