Default anyone running a custom door handle setup?

I'm not crazy about the stock integra door handles and i was thinking about changing them out for something different. Does anyone in the honda world do this? On volkswagens its pretty popular, swap out the stock handles for audi handles, it only requires a little bit of welding and fab.

any pictures would be cool

pic for an idea of what im talking about.. custom audi door handle setup

I would try a minor chop first just to see how the shape and style of the handle flows with the lines of your car. If thats the kind of stuff you are into then do it. Personally I wouldnt cut my doors up to have different handles. But the stock handles dont bother me. If they arent hitting you change em up

i don't LOATHE the stock handles or anything, i just enjoy fabrication and I think its cool to have some unique (but clean!) stuff on my car.

I need to buy a new passenger door anyway (PO had someone do a hit and run ) so I was planning on doing a couple pchops and then picking up some handles from the junkyard and testing it out on the wrecked door.

I was just curious to see if anyone else had done this on their honda and what the results were like
