Default FS polished 944 door handles $45

These handles are in excellent shape, no scratches on the chrome but there is some wear on the actual door pull from use.

One of the handles does not have a black plastic insert but that could be swapped over from your original black handles.

I do not have the key for these so you will need to put your own lock cylinders in them.

As far as I will guarantee these will fit any early 944. I know there is a difference between early and late door handles but aside from the visual markings I don't know of any functional difference. If someone knows if these will fit a late car please chime in.

Looking for $60 shipped

I've never seen them installed! What about the other ones too. Aren't some brushed?

They're polished. I bead-blasted one of my handles and simply put it under a compound wheel just to see what it would look like. It turned out great, but I never did the other side... so as of now, I have one black handle, and one polished one.

well im going to give you a bump for the sale. however i do like these handles i think they look good. i actually argued with someone about paying 800 dolars for a 944/1 tachometer. now dont take this the wrong way but me personally, i could never pay 250 for door handles polished or not! thats just me but maybe they are worth that to someone. good luck on the sale.

Are'nt these handles identical to the original handles carried over from the VW Golf... a new insert can be had cheaply if that is the case...

And 800 for a tach is an insane price, I got an entire dash cluster for $50 and ended up re-selling the tach for $50...

Put them on vortex. mk1/mk2 guys like them polished sometimes. But they like script handles a lot more. Honestly you might not see 225, polished script handles go for about that.

I've seen polished script handles in the 125-150 range lately...
