    Question about door handles

    I've decided to keep the ol' 3g, and I'm in the process of finding a new exterior door panel. What I need to know if the 4dr front handle is the same as the 2dr. I've heard all thats different is the rod for the handle but you just swap it out? Thanks
    I can't read the signature rules so MrBen deleted my signature.

    I'm pretty sure the handles are the same. I bought one for my driver's side off ebay and they never mentioned what it came off of (sedan, coupe, etc)...I'm almost wanting to say a first gen integra handle will fit....but I could be wrong

    put rear door handles on your hatch from a sedan and you can get rid of the key holes and open by remote. just make sure to have a backup system. the sedan ones are also metal vs plastic for the hatch
