Chrome Door Handles

I was looking into getting the chrome door handles that come on the ex models from honda..i can get all 4 for only $180. problem is the installation is $800 at honda. does anyone think thats even worth it or is it something thats easy enough to where i can just buy the handles and do it myself?

If you have no experience with cars or taking off door panels, I wouldnt do it. I replace door handles, panels, windows, regulators, etc. all the time on cars so if you were close to me id do it for you no problem. None of your friends have experience with cars? Dont pay the $800, unless youve got plenty of spare dough laying around.

aw i couldnt even afford $800 right now if i wanted to..i got no experience whatsoever..i got one friend that messes with cars a lot but i dont think i really would trust him with mine..hes very careless...guess i gotta ask around and find somebody.i just dont want it done and then the windows dont roll up or down anymore or something doesnt work anymore on door.

haha. Yeh i have a few friends like that. In my opinion id leave them black since you dont want to risk screwing up anything on that new of a car.

yea you probably right..if i do happen to come across a spare $800 i would do it though

They always make those chrome door handle covers.
Wouldnt look as good, but its easy and would look better.

$800 sure is a lot of money for door handle installation.

How about trying those stick on jobbies on fleabay? 

naw i dont want it bad enough to be satisfied with cheesy ones. i will just hold off on it for a wgile

Of course anyone with $'s in their screen name can probably afford $800.

haha..yea i wish..if i hadnt just spent $1800 on rims and tint then maybe but not anymore.

Man get CF door handles they look better and won't cost as much

i dont think they would look as good on my car since everything is black and chrome...

It's funny...I've seen threads on different forums where it seems that everybody who has chrome door handles wants body-colored ones and everybody who has the regular ones wants chrome.
 
People always seem to want what they don't have and vice-versa.
 
Maybe everybody should have a big get-together and trade.
 
I have the chrome and really like them.  They sort of jumped out at me on the lot when i was picking a car.

yea they wouldnt sell me the one with the chrome handles..they told me an LX was all i qualified for so i was like ok i will just add shit to it later..wish i had the chrome exhaust tip also

you don't need all that crap man. the car looking mad beautiful, don't throw away money especially on some chrome door handles because I can tell you're going to regret it
 
the 8th generation is probaly the sexiest generation so far, honda has come a long way.

if i were you i'd be working on the exhaust system right now but not that racing muffler noise i mean like the beautiful silent tone like the Z, and G35

thanks...and yea you probably right....i seem to never be satisfied..what do you think is about average to spend on a good exhaust?
