Click on the DIY link for door panels in my sig. 8th gens are almost identical.

Be advised it may be more that it's worth. Meaning door panels are a pain. You'll likely break a few clips and you don't replace them and/or miss a clip or screw upon re-installing them you'll have a door panel that rattles when you open and close or possible vibrates on the road.
It's up to you on how badly you want these door handles. When you doing it yourself keep this in mind as it's not always as easy as it seems.

Yeah, you might want to leave installing that honda accessories to a pro. That'll avoid more trouble on your part. If you're not used to doing such stuff, better let em do it.

But the guide that is given in the previous post is already great. Just make sure to follow it and take note of the tiny screws and clips when reinstalling it.

Have some balls. If you break a clip, drop 95 cents and buy a replacement. It'll be fine.
