Altima coupe mirror cover and door handles

[i9ool3ackshot]

Can anyone help me. I am looking to remove the exterior door handles, im thinking of painting them black. Also the side mirrors i would like to spray tint the amber led bar a smoke color. Ive searched the forums and cant quite find any information on removal of these exterior parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The information for removal can be found in NICO's FSM (Factory Service Manual) directory.

Here's the link to the directory for your Altima Coupe:

And here's the link to the exterior portion of the FSM which should include the door handle and LED bar removal instructions:

Mirror cover and LED removal...

I would suggest using tint film though, no spray. As you can see in my post, you can barely see the signals after spraying. I recently redid them with Oracal (same stuff as LBC overlays) and they still look great and the LED is still completely visible.

Ok so since I have done this before I can tell you that's a Horrible idea to do. Meaning the door handles, they are the hardest thing to change/do on this vehicle. I have taken apart this entire vehicle when it comes to body panels/interior/exterior. This is the HARDEST thing to take apart and I advise 100% against it. I say this because for what you want its just not worth it. I give it a 5.5 out of 5 on hardness scale since the hardest part is installing it back in the right way.

For the mirrors grab a razor blade and something to kinda pry off the mirror with. There are clips on the bottom "2" in the middle "2" and right under the turn signal in the light there's one big one. This last one pry easily as its easy to break. I usually break at least one clip now when they pop off its normal.

Let me know if you need more help via email since I answer quicker, [email protected]
