Door Handle


I saw Gazio have both chrome/ carbon fiber full replacement door handle for Toyata 86/FRS/BRZ.

It looks good for me. However, it is too expensive.
I might want to keep this option and wait for other aftermarket products.

How difficult to replace the stock door handle to the aftermarket one?

Could someone give me some instruction guidance?

Thanks a lot.

I will keep this option, if it is not too hard.

How about the chrome type? Any good suggestion?
I have already have OEM chrome fender trim.
I think the chrome door handle might match better from the side view.
Thanks.

Looking at these on the car looks really cheesy.

Actually, I also cannot understand why both are real carbon fiber, but looks so different. ><

It's just cf patterned, I'm guessing its going to be plastic, certainly all of the interior stuff is plastic and the door handle looks very much like the interior stuff
