Default DIY: CF Interior Door Handle Install

Here is a DIY for installing CF overlay door handles. I got mine from www.evo-r.net





Step 1.

Installation is fairly simple and takes about 5-10 minutes at most. First off clean your door switch and let it dry, I used 3M adhesive remover and then wiped it down. You will need a small flat head screw driver and a 10mm wrench with a large extension to remove the passenger door handle. This is necessary in order to get the passenger cf overlay on.

Step 2.

Using the flathead screw driver, gently pry off the brushed metal part of the door handle, I gently pushed on the right side of the handle until i was able to grasp it with my fingers.

Once thats done you will need to use the wrench to remove the 2 bolts that are holding the handle in place. These go in fairly deep so you will need a long extension, I used a 10" because
real men don't use anything less than 10" :P



Step 3.

Once thats done you can work the handle out of the socket gently...



Step 4.

Now apply the overlay applying pressure from the left side to the right side for a good 2minutes. You may need to peel it off and do it again if you don't align it 100%.
No big deal just be careful when taking it off.



Step 5.

Once thats done reinsert the bolts into the door handle AND THEN insert the door handle into the door...try to use your fingers to hold the bolts in place.
Tighten them up hand tight...there is no need to go overboard, I didnt even bother using a wrench to remove or screw it back in. Reinsert the brushed metal cover.



Step 6.

Driver side is even easier just remember to wipe down the area first.

Just because of their rediculous price on there, I'm wondering if you can just buy a roll of CF and just lay over the stock plastic?
