ok people lets get this going so i can get it done.. im really bored, 20's are on but no pics, sorry no pics lol, also had the avic f90 installed with a custom knob, alos sorry no pics lol. painted the inside edge of bezel black to make the unit appear more flush, works great, also no pics lol. but i think the handle idea is a winner i just may order one just to find out. does anyone have a left rear outside door handle laying around?????

No. The shaft that connects to the lock mechanism is shorter on the rear handle. Actually, significantly shorter.

Didn't you just replace two of your 18's because they cracked? That seems like a bunch of money to drop for just winter rims. Hopefully you tire of those 20's, you know I want them, seriously.
BTW where have you been?

Damn that was fast!


Remove the door handles completely. I've wanted to see a decent looking LS without them.

did you use the scosche dash kit or the oem navi bezel?
i used the scosche kit and had to trim off 4.75mm from the back edge of the kit with a dremel and now it actually sits flush
