Default 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.

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.

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