n e 1 know if the new cl and tl door handle fits 1st gen?

i was parked next to a 03 tl and i would bet my life that the door handle would fit perfect or its extremely close. i want to switch to the chrome handle to help further create the look of a new cl.

those chrome handles are UGLY, that would be the first thing I changed if I bought a newer CL/TL.


but, everyones got their own opinion on beauty.

instead of getting those door handles...shave them off completely...especially if you are repainting...

for sure, only problem is it'll affect the resale value. Who the fuck wants to buy a car w/ no door handles

unless you aren't planning on putting your car back to stock and selling it.

no shaving, i want oem look. im just tryin to make my 97 look as much like a new acura as possible. havent decided if i would like them or not. it was just a thought. i much rather have a 98 center console, navi, and a new cl or tl steering wheel.

i always liked the door handles that are actually a "handle" like a bar you pull out on rather than a lid looking thing you pull up on like our CL's......im always weary of pulling up on the handle b/c i fear it might break off and then im screwed!

Hey VXCL, I just put on the console from the 98-99 on my 97. I didn't get the entire thing, just the chrome piece and the newer version of the black thing with the letters for park and drive etc. If you'd like I can send you some pictures. Just give me an email and a couple of days, I have to borrow my buddy's digicam.

I have also done the console swap as well. Much cleaner in my opinion. I have a digicam, but nowhere to host the pics...

And for some reason, my clock doesn't work properly.....I'm not sure what went wrong..
