Default RS replica door pulls installed on my 2008 GT2

Hey guys,

I shot a few photos and videos to help better illustrate how the replica RS door pulls work on the 997. This is about the simplest install you could ever imagine, with only a single T20 Torx screw holding each door handle. The point of the photos and videos are therefore only to help illustrate what you're getting with this modification. I definitely want to give a big shout out to @FLT6SPD for selling this slightly used set to me, which my wife gave me as a birthday gift this year. I just got around to installing them today and am very happy with them.

Please also find short videos I created to help compare the replica RS door pull versus OEM RS door pull operation:

Thanks to all who regularly contribute around here!

It took me longer to find and assemble my tools to do the work than to do the actual work, so you're in for a treat!

Thanks so much for posting the videos. This helps with my decision on which door pull/handle to get.

I got mine from eBay. Make sure to order from the site that indicates Made in USA.
