Title: TSX door handles???
Post by: rip_cord on June 06, 2009, 09:32:40 AM
I'm gonna get flamed for this...

I love the little chrome strip on the 1st gen TSXs.

I know the Asian market uses them for their Accords, but I don't know anybody that will ship it over here.
(that are trustworthy)

So, I was looking at the TSXs a while back, but never got a chance to measure the handles.  Now, the dealer doesn't have these models on the lot, so I feel extra shady walking around with a tape measure and pulling on people's door handle.   :mrgreen:

I have a sedan, so my door handles would be easier to retrofit.

Thanks.

There's a dude that I work with that has a TSX. I can measure his and report back. Thing is, I'm off work for the next two weeks so if your patient, I'll get you an answer.

I remember someone on v6p was trying to source the asian ones a while back...they were like 300+...not worth in imo

I like the silver strip as well

I'm pretty sure that someone tried this WAY back in the day on the old g7a and found out that it's not possible to do.

Yeah.  I thought of that before.  It's really about execution.  
If I had the skills to dremel into the handle and plastic weld so the strip is flush, I would.  

Hell, I may try dremeling and plastic welding with the front grill, but doing it to all four handles while retaining a level of fluidity is over my head.
