Default Brushed Alunimium door handles

Has anyone installed a set if these? How complicated is it? Who makes them? Thanks for any information.

Jager produces a door handle overlay kit, which consists of brushed aluminum overlays for the handle itself, the outer frame of the backing plate, and the sunken part of the backing plate. It can be installed without tools - all you need is something to clean (degrease) the existing pieces.

More info: http://www.marketworks.com/StoreFron...318&i=26458206

These go nicely with the brushed aluminum shifter plate and boot kit: http://www.marketworks.com/StoreFron...318&i=26458306

Both kits are also available in wood or carbon materials (special order).

This is not trying to pretend to replace the solid aluminum alternative. Instead, it's an inexpensive and very nice looking way to dress up what's already there.

Unfortunately, these aren't stick-on's.
They have holes drilled in them and look like they replace the originals handles.

I would rather have a replacement handle vs a stick-on.

The door handle itself is not hard to replace but you have to remove the door panel to do so.
The handle assembly is held on by 3 screws. Inside to door, there is a plastic "T" with 3 nutserts that will fall loose into the door (that's why you need to remove the door panel).
Once you have the handle assembly in hand, you need to disconnect the cable and then separate the handle itself from the assembly by removing it's shaft. The shaft is held on by a clip.
All this becomes very clear and easy once you have the assembly in hand.

I installed these as well they were from 928 specialist however, and it didn't require taking my whole door panel off just part of the top. Installing them was easy in my opinion.
