^ Sweet Jesus, what happened to your door plastics!!??? There's a good reason that it wouldnt match that lol . It looks like it was sanded and then repainted, or something, I have no idea, but I'll post pics and show you how ours turned out. There is no way to distinguish it from stock. BTW if you used super 77 for the handle cover you should be able to pull it off and realign it as many times as you need to get it lined up perfectly. The grip cover is definitely not aligned in this pic. (BTW, yes the switch has to be popped out BEFORE removing the door panel, otherwise you can not get to one of the main structural screws)

For anyone that is hesitant with the install, please wait for the guide. We have a step by step pictorial guide walking you through removing every screw for the door panel, the process of swapping over the aluminum handle, and reassembly, with tools and recommended materials. It's taking us longer to finish than we had hoped as we took a ton of pictures for each step.

So I did something today that I've read about and heard about, but never have been able to do or seen done...........I closed the passenger door with the door handle!!! Yes, you heard correct, I closed the passenger door with the door handle today :-) Fit very well, looks great, & it feels very sturdy!

 

I just sent my money for a 93 smooth finish handle

 

NICE!

It looked a LOT worse initially, I did have to sand it again and repaint it and then wet sand, and that was the best I could get it. I used the wrong kinda paint, learned my lesson the hard way, but it looks descent so I cant complain too much. I will need to eventually buy a new plastic trim, because after that experience, I dont feel like spray painting interior panels anymore lol Cant complain too much though, still works nice

 

Is this a hinting of the next new product? Haha, I mean I guess doing the whole door panel would be out of this world expensive not to mention heavy...but at least they would not feel so cheap and not make noise. lol

 

Hey Sakebomb you guys sent my shipment to someplace in San Leandro Ca (at least according to the Fedex tracking no you emailed me)
There was aparently no signature required so they just left it by someones door I suppose.

 

btw I live in Fremont, Ca

 

Who do I need to contact or PM to resolve this?

 

Aha! this is NOT me. My first name is Stefan


From Fedex tracking no sent to my email:

SBG of SakeBomb Garage sent TROY REED of TROY REED 1 FedEx Home
Delivery package(s).

This shipment is scheduled to be sent on 02/25/2011.

Status: Shipment information sent to FedEx

Tracking number: 982848815001257

 

I suppose the best/cheapest way to replace the entire plastic part that attaches to the door handle, would be to buy a used part on the forum in good condition for maby half the price or less the oem.

 

Looks like your e-mail somehow was on Troy's info, not sure how your e-mail address got mixed into his info. Sorry about the confusion. We will have yours shipped tomorrow, you should receive a tracking number via e-mail. Sorry for the delay. We tried to ship everything as smoothly as possible, unfortunately there was a little hiccup...please forgive us.

Thanks,
Dan

 

Paypal sent- For 93 finish. Sorry about the delay I said I would pay on Dec. 31... things just keep coming up.

 

Payment sent how and when? Also the GB has been closed for a long time now and GB pricing no longer applies. The standard price is $385 shipped for either 93 or 94 finish, of which we only have a very very limited supply left. We got 5 orders yesterday and our supply is getting down into the 10's

 

Sent the remainder I was unaware of the pricechange.

 

I decided not to wrap the handle but just polished it. The handle is now solid. awesome product.

 

Any more pictures of finished installation?

 

yes we'll be posting the guide with pictures later tonight. If you do it correctly the finished handle will be indistinguishable from stock

 

So 2 weeks after the shipping commensed and being number 23 on the list would anyone bother providing me a tracking number???

 

Yup, an email with tracking information was sent to the email address you sent payment from, but since for whatever reason you did not receive it click on the following
