Does anyone know where i can buy the body color matched door handles for the 00-04 focus sedan?
I heard the mazda tribute 04 fits perfectly. But i see a lot of svts have body colored matched door handles. Will those fit on the sedan ?
I'm looking for it in cd silver.
Also, same goes for the side mirrors - looking for them in cd silver to replace my stock "black" side view mirrors.

you need a mazda vin number to buy parts from them
your best bet is to just go to ford for the svt ones
i think these are the part #'s
Replace the XXX with the 3 letter SVT color number:
CD Silver - BHB
Comp Orange - BHL
Black - BAJ
Sonic Blue - BHX
Infra Red - BHD
outside handle 2T2Z-7822404-XXX
bezel keyhole YL8Z-78218A14-XXX
Bezel no keyhole YL8Z-7821B08-XXX

AFAIK the body coloured mirrors are in fact a skull cap that is paintable - would probably be a lot less expensive and easier than replacing the whole mirror assembly. I could use a pair myself ...

sorry, what does AFAIK mean?
So you are saying that i can just paint my current stock black side mirrors myself?
Do you know where i can get the paint job done at? Or what i need to do it myself?

sorry u got me confused here: so exactly what do i need to order and how many of each?
outside handle (i'm assuming is the 2 rear door handles with no key holes) - order 2
bezel keyhole (is this the driver's door handle?) - order 1?
bezel no keyhole (what is this? the passenger side handle?) - order 1?
grand total: 4 handles (for the sedan).
did i get this correct?

AFAIK = As Far As I Know ... not exaclty ... you buy two little pieces that fit the outside of the mirrors - they look like skull caps - you might be able to buy them painted or perhaps black paintable.

ok called ford, and they said they no longer make or sell SVT door handles.
So i'll probably go with MAZDA.
It's about $90 a door handle, comes pre-painted (2 parts per door handle: the actual handle and the traingular piece).

well he said i can't buy em. So i went to Mazda and i bought the 4 door handles for the Tribute (01-04) even though i didn't even own a Mazda car. They just came in so i'm picking them up.
Why is service so much better at all the japanese companies? (toyota, mazda, etc). I found their service and voices to be very happy and pleasant and ready to help but whenever I call FORD everyone sounds angry and unhappy.
What gives?
Anyways.....is it easy to install the door handles myself or do i need a technician to do it?

Coz dood, your in North York...where imports are King, and Domestics are looked down on. If you go to a Domestic dealership in a small town (Like Pembroke/Petawawa for example), they will get to know you on a first-name basis, as well as be happy to see you (coz you COULD have gone down the street to Toyota or Honda and bought a car), and often go out of their way to give you deals on stuff. I know I get deals from some Ford and Lincoln dealers in smaller places.
Besides, a custom Focus is always more interesting than a Civic, Corolla, Yaris, etc...
