2003 sedan chrome door handles on 2003 coupe? These would be the interior door handles, BTW. I would like to put the chrome ones that come on the sedans on my coupe. Has anyone done this, and how hard is it to take the handles off and put them back on?
i don't think 4door interior handles are the same size as coupe interior handles. But what you can do is take the chrome latch and swap that with your coupe's latch. I'm planning on doing this too. I just need all the right parts.
and btw, it's not too hard getting to the handles. There's a DIY on replacing the door panel speakers and that basically shows you how to take the dor panel off. It's mostly just popping a few small things off, then taking out a few screws, and then taken off the whole door panel itself.

Rep Power: 0 Really? They look like the same size, I figure Honda would use the same handle in all Civics to save $, the only difference being the sedan's is chrome plated. If you do this conversion, let me know how it went and post pics please!!
Only the outer door handles are the same. I just compared the coupe's and sedan's door handles at www.hondaautomotiveparts.com; the outer door handles for both body style have the same part#, which means they have the same outer handle. Completely opposite with the interior door handles though.
I can't be totally sure, until I get a hold of the sedan doorhandles for myself. I've got a lot of things to finish up on my car, before the cold weather comes.

heres the deal.. cause i changed Mine... i have a sedan..i changed my interior ones to chrome.. cause i have a 2001 and they came out in 2002... the coupe handles are different size and u cant change oout the handles them selves... they are rivited to the housin.. if you have a rivit machine or whatever.. then u could do it.. but is it really worth all that trouble? cause thats alot of work for some chrome handles.. but i understand.. cause i wanted them too thats why i changed mine.
