Upgrade to -00 door release handles

[Tomas]

Hello everyone.

I just bought a used set of door release handles from a GTS-00 in aluminium for an upgrade of my small black plastic ones in my -96 GTS. But it does´t fit? Anyone who has done this upgrade and get it worked??

Have you had it apart? What exactly does not fit? I haven't done this, but would like to.

I want to do the same to my '98. I read on here before that they do fit, but need to make an extra hole in the door.

I like that a lot better than what's on the 96, and it looks easier to get off. I saw a nice brushed aluminum piece with the Viper emblem that I was thinking about, but this looks a little cleaner.

I think those started on the 99 models.

Yes, my 99 are silver like those.

I asked this awhile ago, but never went through with it. As much as I'd like to upgrade, it just seemed like too much of a PITA. It can be done, however.....just read this post.

By the way....what did the used set of handles cost you? Were they from a junk yard? Thanks and good luck.
