Can I put my old 00 door handles in my new 02 se? Anyone know how? thnx

I am looking to purchase 2002 maxima SE. It is fully loaded minus the navigation with leather(not black)

The color of the 02 is charcoal and has the same color door handles. My current 00 gxe has chrome door handles which I would like to put on the 02 se. Is this possible?

The reason I want to do this is b/c I want to get the chrome mercedes style mirror covers and chrome door pillars. Maybe even some chrome 350z wheels. Do you guys think that would look good?

do you know how to do it? I wanna give it a try. If I don't like the look of it I could always just put the charcoal handles back on

It should be pretty self explanatory once you take the door panel off.

Yup.Dropping the rear latches out the way makes it easy to get to the handle bolts.

I just realized but are you talking about the interior handle or exterior?

The chrome interior handles wouldnt look that bad with a dark interior, but im guessing you are talking about the exterior door handles hence matching the other chrome junk on the outside.
