Default Replace doors handles with Back handles from a 4-door Integra?

Alright, so here is what I was thinking (actually ITR 547 suggested it, so I trhought I would try it); take the back door handles from a 4-door Integra and then paint them and swap them for the front door handles on the Type-R. Thus, you eliminate the look hole for the car on doth doors. Has anyone tried this and can it be done?

Thanks!

I think he's talking about the exterior door handles. He's trying to get rid of the key-holes.

I think it'll work... it works on a Civic... I don't see why it wouldn't work on a teg.

Why not shave the door handles altogether and get a door popper.

2. maybe avoid thieves?
3. he's bored.

Well, I didn't want to shave because I like having door handles, and I think it would be more of a pain in the ***. This way I can always "go back" and just put the old ones back in. Anyone have suggestions on where to get the handles painted in the Phoenix area?

Thanks!
