Do you have any idea for how long I've wanted chrome door handles?

Arent those just the stick-on covers for the door handles? Or I know there was some guy on FJ that just bought them from some place in the states.


Why Didn't Somebody Tell Me? - Flofocus - 04-07-2004

Yes i think there just doorhandle covers.


Why Didn't Somebody Tell Me? - Raine - 04-07-2004

Not even close.

It is just the time and place I come from people. Have faith all, on my car it will look &quot;right&quot; you'll see.

Oh and naz, if I remember correctly you have a car with chrome door handles? :P

Hella more :lol:

Like try parts only=80 Euro's instead of $80CDN. Then you can talk shipping and duty. This will be a $200+ job, vanity pure and simple.

Before I get the speech I'll just mention that it is my money and to keep things in perspective, my work gave me $900+ in gas expenses for March alone. I'm just re-investing* a portion of it.

I suppose there is a supplier in North America but I just went through our buddy Sascha in Germany. http://www.european-parts.net/

*not that I ever condone using the word investment in the same sentence as cars.


Why Didn't Somebody Tell Me? - BerinG - 04-08-2004

lol... yeah.. pretty expensive indeed.. I wouldn't judge you on the cost.. those are nice handles right there haha (trying to make it positive ;) you are a brave man)


Why Didn't Somebody Tell Me? - naz - 04-08-2004

bling bling cuz the money ain't a thing is never bad

haha

its gonna be CRAZY when you finally ditch the focus and step into something german.. your bling options will increase exponentially.. and it starts right at the dealer with luxury leather packages, navigation.. etc etc etc :D


Why Didn't Somebody Tell Me? - Zoom - 04-08-2004

it seems 52 euros for the parts. so thats around 80 bucks after the conversion.

duties, shipping etc... yeah thats all extra....


Why Didn't Somebody Tell Me? - naz - 04-08-2004

you know.. if duty to the US is a lot cheaper.. i could have stuck them onto my car.. parked outside your house..

the next morning.. WTF.. my chrome handles suddenly became black plastic again

:ph34r:

Most of the stuff is european style, so I wonder if the mirror covers are a replacement panel rather than a stick-on overlay. Probably stick on, since that's what the rest of it is.
