GB: FD Aluminum Passenger Door Handle - SakeBomb Garage
#426
^ 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!

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.

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

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
