Chrome door handles Reply #6 – September 02, 2008, 02:57:09 PM The outer door handles were also used on earlier Fox Mustangs. If you see listings for 'chrome' and 'black'...that's what you'll be getting: reproduction Mustang handles, usually not made in the U.S. Not sure of the quality. Probably good enough for daily drivers, maybe not so much for show quality cars.CJ Pony Parts is good for the repros (here)...and sometimes they have OEM handles (here and here).Or you could do as ipsd suggested and try the Help! handles if all you would need is chrome. Again, not sure of the quality. Quote Selected

Chrome door handles Reply #8 – September 02, 2008, 07:55:55 PM Don't the vast majority of these cars already have chrome door handles? I know my 88 does, and I thought all except the Turbo Coupe, Sport and XR7 had 'em. I briefly considered swapping the black handles out of my spare TC doors onto my car to complete the de-chroming but decided against it. Not for any noble reason, mind you - I was just too lazy to drill the rivets out of the TC handles (the chrome ones were already off for the paint job) Quote Selected

Chrome door handles Reply #13 – September 02, 2008, 09:50:50 PM QuoteI was just too lazy to drill the rivets out of the TC handlesAw come on, Carm...with that year-round snow that y'all have in Canada, all you need is a hammer and a punch, and them frozen rivets will pop right out. Little tip: if you don't want to use pop rivets upon reinstallation, you can use 1-1/4" carriage bolts with some Loc-Tite. They're a little more secure as they're harder to drill out, won't let the handle flop around over time, and can be completely removable (with some elbow grease) when you want them to be. Plus they look cooler. Quote Selected
