As with all retrofits, anything's possible. Will it be cheap? Probably not for this one. You'd need to buy the door panels with the shades built in. You'd also probably have to buy new window frames/surrounds that have the hooks for the shades to latch onto.
Adding a layer of tint on top of the factory glass would be easier and more cost effective. Downside of course is that it's permanent compared to up/down shades.
Maybe one of the other members who has access to part catalogs/diagrams can chime in with part numbers. That'll give you a start to search/call for pricing.

Anyone can have access to the parts catalog. There are several sites, but I like etk dot cc (site hates the .cc domain and blocks all links), as it shows all the variants, and it is a visual search. For instance, I discovered India and Russia get different horns, likely louder, and am looking to possibly swap!

At any rate, diagrams below. You need a different door trim and seals. I have highlighted the option for shades, but did not list the actual part as it is also specific to the interior color selection.

Unless there is a hack with the door trims (no needing the entire thing), and you have to buy the whole thing you are looking at $2k per side.

Auto correct error, fixed above. Catalog at
Etk dot cc.

p.s. They are very useful and very cheap when you are ordering.
