I installed some "modern" style door handles.
Hopefully this will end the never ending breaking handles. I really like the feel/look of these. I'm impressed, not bad for $38.

They took some modding, but nothing major. I had to shave the front linkage down (width wise) and for the rears, just slipped the old linkage in the new place, a little grinding to fit.
Next I'm thinking of painting them to match the body. Anyone have pics of any quats with no side mouldings, or painted ones?
Thanks

Yep, nice. I tested fitted those before Burien last yr, but uninstalled them due to
the way the rear mounts pivotted inside the door.
Hopefully you got a slighty different design.
But damn, don't they feel nice when you open them.
(Also the other concern was my daughter pulling on them oddly & damaging the door/paint, but you don't have to worry about yours opening doors for a few more yrs.)
You still got my email from a few days ago? Get on MSN sometime also.
