Hey guys & gals, well you may or may not remember me talking about changing the drivers side handle so you don't see the keyhole. Giving the illusion of "keyless entry" I didn't want to use the plugs because you can still see a ring of where it is. So I stayed away from those. Finally got time to put the piece back on my car, & took a couple pics to show you guys...

So lemme know what you think... =)

Not to rain on your parade or anything... but is it easy to take off if you're in a pinch?

Because how will you get into your car if the battery dies?

Looks really good though!

Nice! Looks really clean, I dig it. Did you have to modify the piece?

Did that come off a G? Or is it just a passenger side ?

yea it's pretty easy... if you have door closed, you just pull the handle like you were to open it (make sure u have a small flathead tho), and pry off the piece.... thus revealing the keyhole... here's some pics i took when i did it



u can faintly see a red circle, u want to use a flathead screwdriver or what ever you have that is able to get into the space to lift the tab up. As you lift the tab, pull on the cover to remove it. and presto!

no, the G piece doesn't fit. I tried that at first... here's a pic of it.. it was too short and thin, also it wasn't wide enough where it goes over the flap.

thanks for all the comments....

you can either pay the full price and buy the WHOLE right side door handle. Or you can sand it down, fill in the hole, and repaint it.
