Interior Opinion???

I think the beige door would look great with a black leather insert in the door card. I wonder how much it would cost to replace the insert in the door card.

Difficulty of installing/not damaging leather door handle piece?

Looked at those a while back and seriously considered them. Figure it's a relatively easy snap in bit.

Super easy - I did them in 10 minutes in the parking lot at work. No tools required. I also changed out the back part to black as well to get rid of the yellowish faded tan handle back. Also very easy. Couple of screws in and out.

Outer cover take a little finesse to get in just right, but not hard at all. Just start at the top and keep pressing up as you pop the rest in. They look and feel great - top quality for sure.

Sweet, that's what I had figured. The plastic on the OE silver ones was scratched a little bit by the previous owner (I assume a ring of sorts) and figured might as well replace it while something is available, would also go nice with the extended leather (black).

Thanks again unluky.

No problem.

Just put in some sisal mats from CocoMats.com. Great products; fit, finish, and quality. But, and I will publicly admit this, I do drive bare footed, heal and toe kind of driving, and these mats feel great. Love the look of the OEM mats, but these mats are very nice. Favor yourself, get some!

These aren't beads. These have been put in vw bugs and Porsches since the 1950's.

Awesome! Glad you like 'em. Aren't they much more impressive in your car than pictures can convey? The quality is off the charts.
