Help with installing door handles
Has anyone or does anyone know how to change the door handles. I have an LX coupe with black door handles and I'm changing them to body colored ones, but I need help!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 go to the diy page and use the "chaning your front speakers diy"
follow that to the point where you take off your door panels...then it is obvious from there
where did you buy your handles?

Rep Power: 0 My brother's friend got me a deal on them, I paid $80 or $90 all together, but they are originally $57 each. I ended up taking them to somebody and he installed them and that costed $60. Soooo, now I have my white door handles! Although, they are a little bit whiter than my car, but it's okay!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Damn dude, $60?? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]. Sorry to say but you got ripped even at $60. Taking off each door handel takes a total of about 2 minutes. I guarantee you that I can do both handels in less than five minutes. Its very simple. Pop out the little plate covering the screw, unscreww it and pop your handel out. Disconnect the rod for the door hinge and the power lock switch (if you have one) that's it. I've had to take mine off a few times when I put in my window modules.

Rep Power: 0 LOL, sorry [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I thought you were talking about the internal handles. Sorry about the (s)he thing. Just a bad habit of making assumptions.
