    Can you feel the seams where the stickers are on top of the handle? Like where your fingertips would grasp? Seems like there would be a nice ridge or seam that would get caught by fingernails on the backside of the handle. Or you would feel that everytime you open and could be annoying as shit. Just curious as it was the first thought in my head as I saw this product.

    Yeah I've heard that before. Definitely grease em up before you install people.

    Ah okay, thanks that makes sense...I thought it was a front/rear type thing based on KTJO's picture from their thread since they seemed "paired" up.

    I have four chrome OEM handles if anyone wants to experiment with painting or plastidip. I can't imagine it would hold up that well though.

    I had completely forgotten these were on my handles until this thread reminded me. Granted, I had done the interior blackout kit before installing these, so I had plenty of practice. Hey, they're not perfect, but they're also not annoying as shit, IMO. :notsure:

    Does the entire door panel have to be removed to replace the handles?

    Seems like rockauto only have the chrome handles. Anyone have another source besides the stealership? Amazon only have the driver sides at the moment.

    FYI, for people that don’t want to pull the entire door handles off... I’m working on a custom molded, snap-on blacked out cover:D
