yup. might as well get the rear handles off a 4-door with no key holes. thats is you have power locks hooked up to your alarm.

Painting your stockers would be cheapest if you can paint.

I know quite a few people who have used the Autozone automotive spraypaint in the cans, and with enough clearcoat, it looks damn near OEM.

Oh but they do. I've posted multiple times about it. vsm98civic knows what color it is exactly. Both him and the now banned "fresh pizza guy" have used it and it works well.
