door handle conversion...

[accordztech]

--story--
well so far i had alot of people mess with my car. someone tried to break into my car a long time ago through my key hole and messed it up badly..but didnt realize that i didnt even lock my car! stFU NOob hahah.

well the other night smoeone tried again to mess with my door lock and now it looks ugly....the lock never worked since the last dude..

--question--

in 95+ integras i know that u can put a rear door handle on the front so that it will have no key hole...can we do this to the 91 accord? i really want to get rid of that keyhole OR at least put something solid there in place of the key hole like a piece of metal that blends in or something

thanks!

Yeah, ive seen many people do it, and im pretty sure it is just bolt right on. I was going to do it, but didnt remember before i painted it.

[accordztech]

so it should just go right in huh..

humm i wonder if they come pre-painted in my color....

if u can come up with a pic, id like to know =)

[phatdoughnut]

i seen some one do it to a cb7 same color as yours on accordtuner.com... if i remember right, you have to do some slight modification to the rod that connects to the door handle to open the rod...."slight"

its definately been done tons of time, im waiting for a set to be shipped to me, im gonna be doign the same... from what i understand, the passenger one bolts in perfectly and the driver side one needs a little plastic piece added, and all i get is "ull see what i mean" .... thye say u need to go to the dealer for it, and its reeally cheap. but yes, feel free to do it, it works.

this says that the drivers goes on directly and not the passsengers...

yeah i got them mixed up... if u notice i had a few posts in that thread. should only take a little modding, lots of ppl have done it... wish i had those handles in so i could tell u first hand.

I would just shave it, im just scared that oneday it wont open. Or my battery dies and the door wont open.

[bobbyvu]

well... if your battery dies there's always going through the trunk. =) i need to get mine done as well.. some A-hole broke a key off in my passenger door handle on my 2dr.

my front passenger door handle looks like someone tried to pry it out from the bottom, meaning someone tried to break into it, but i noticed this a long time ago the rubber surrounding is pushed in at the bottom, fuckin bitches ill kill em

[uncle_el]

i've done it.




just to show that it is a 2 door accord.

for me, it's better than shaving the doors (personal preference for my car). if you ever decide you want to take the cb7 to the track, you'll have to have door handles. just something to keep in consideration.

of course you'll need a keyless entry system/alarm as you will have no keyhole.

Here is the link to the install with pics and very detailed instuctions. I will be doing mine like within two weeks.Click Here

SWEEET!!! haha exactly what i was looking for! now it does look easy, only moddin to the handle and not the door parts...thats great!

now the question if i can get mine painted to match my car...13 years does wonders to paint, but mine is still new and clean =)

u know, this would be a nice stickey or a DIY ....

ill let u guys know on my progress...imma go buy some stuff tomorrow. thank you! lolz...the same dude posted on accordtuner, and SHO and here LOLZ>..so i have to say thanks on all forums

Ok you just saved me, i guess no shaved doors for me.

if you don't want to go through the potential hassle of getting your handles painted, you can get brand new handles from the dealer (which is what i did). they (the folks at the dealership) ask for your paint code (located in the door jamb) to get the properly colored ones.

i also think this would be good for the folks with the dx model in order to get rid of those black handles (if so desired of course).
