I've been noticing that the door handles on the new Accords are the same as on the TSX but inverted. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

If that's the case, they are paint matched to the car so we could technicallly order them and put them on the TSX. I noticed that one of the colors on the Accord is PMM......

Wouldn't the pull be reversed even if it did bolt up? I doubt that would work & I haven't looked at them that closely but it's a thought for paintmatched handles.

I kinda like the chrome handles and window garnish.

I hadn't given it that much thought I but I think your right about the pull mechanism.

I don't think they are an EXACT match.

They aren't the same. My parts manager and I tried.

i've been meaning to black out my chrome window trim since the day i got my car; this thread just reminded me that i gotta do it haha

They are based off of each other, but they won't work interchangeably. I've always noticed that, so when I see an Accord I always think "oh..upside down door handles!"

Haha, that's funny. We have an '08 Accord and an '09 TSX and I noticed that the door handles looked similar but I never did notice they were just inverted. Sure enough, they look awfully damn close, just upside-down.

Not surprising though, between the two I've noticed a lot of parts that are the same, especially with the interior. Part sharing would make sense, cost wise...

Haha what a coincidence. After seeing this post, I went to the gym and sure enough an 08' Accord was waiting on a turning light at an intersection while i was turning and noticing chromed-out door handles is kinda inevitable. They really do look like our tsx handles but upside down -_-
