yeah. was it a fairly straight forward swap for the chrome door handles?

my sister had the spoiler and bumpers re-sprayed on her lancer and they match, so I might go suss out the shop that she went to.

yea man door handles fit exactly the same, from memory you can get them out by only unscrewing the grab handles. then pull out and take the metal rod off the back of them.

awesome, I'll have to track down a set. so you don't have to take the whole door trim off?

mine has the grey ones and they have faded :/

The above info is correct, take the grab handles off, and slide the handles towards the front of the car, un hook the metal rod at the back and re install the same as they came out.
Was debating for ages to put them in my VN when I had it, didn't want to pull it apart again, ended up taking me 20mins to swap all 4 out. Adds a little more luxury to the car.

And OP, nice car. Needs slammage though.
