To all those complaining about the long wait times and the lack of communication:
You've entrusted your hard earned cash to a rando on the internet. You didn't buy anything through a legitimate business, so why do you expect enterprise level support? This guy is doing this in his spare time as a hobby. If he wanted to treat this like a business, he'd be charging us all a hell of a lot more money than he does. You went this route because you've seen the amazing work he's done for others on this forum and you didn't want to pay as much as your local shop was going to charge you. Cut the guy some slack.

Pay attention to your paypal account and if you haven't seen any action on his part, get a full refund. You lose nothing, just ask any else who's ever done this before. After that you can feel free to bash the guy in a post but you don't have to be constantly on his nuts every day because he's not responding fast enough in your opinion.

Hell I didn't except to see my handles for about a month and they're already moving out after just one week from when I requested them.

P.S. you can argue with my opinion on this subject as much as you want, I will not respond because I've said all that I need to.

Yeah I moved them around when I was spraying the clear as the matte clear I have to do separately so it doesn't get into the other handles that are gloss finish.

Thanks for the supportive words!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So latest update on pending orders:
Just finished buffing/polishing the handles. It's 1AM right now, I work at 6AM, so assembly/boxing will start once I get home from work ~6PM. Keep a look out for tracking numbers!

Yessir- hopefully will be an easy install and will have pics
Up by late tonight!

They look great - can't wait to see them on the new
Black Nismo... Very excited.!

Ok- just some notes for the folks that haven't done
This mod yet...
Here's my .02 cents on the "install" and
The awesome work by Anthony.!

First off-

Let me say that the aftermath is spectacular.!
And... Anthony's finish work was spot on.
I'm not easy to impress, but these are
Definitely well worth the time now that
I've had the chance to have them,
See them first hand and install them.

I wanted to give an overview-

*** Disclaimer *** :
This has nothing to do with buying these
Handles from Anthony or the finished product he provided me. His part to ease everyone considering this was outstanding.!

But this mod- wow... Yeah, well
It's not very easy to say the least.
Thank god for my wife I don't have
Huge hands, but honestly between
The 2 of us we were able to get it
Done after 3 hrs. Start to finish both
Sides, with some learning curves and
Hiccups to be expected if you've never
Done door handles before... You will
See what I mean.

But having said that... I will say this- if I had to do it again
It would be easier I believe... Now that I've done one set.
A second set would be much easier I'm quite sure now.!
Props to Anthony, I'd never do this without buying
From him.
The job is hard enough- trust me and I
Feel I'm very capable of most any mod.

But my wife and I were able to pull this off
Without any scratches or anything on the
Car or handles.

Definitely very challenging to say the least.
Read the instructions very well.
I can help if anyone needs it.

Do one side and take a break. (I personally recommend so you don't Get frustrated.)

The tabs are definitely the hardest part
Besides the manual door key lock itself - (you have little room I cannot stress enough to work with.) The "Little" amount of room inside the door is just Ridiculously tight On either side in my opinion.
However, Your assessment could vary.

*** Please Note*** - I did not remove the handle from the lock mechanism as the 2 screw heads started to immediately strip on the first few small attempts from the Ridiculous Amount of loctite Nissan uses... Good lord.
After reading horror stories, we did the job leaving the handles attached To the blue clip locking mechanism. (Nissan could have provided longer wiring just my
Honest opinion - Just sayin.)

I also wanted Anthony to be able to reuse these screws
So I decided to leave them in tact for him.
(Side note- Theres no way you are gonna get those 2 screws Out unless ur very lucky.! Or drill them out.!)

If you don't want to scratch your door,
Have a second person especially with small
Hands. (They don't have to be car savvy but definitely need to be attentive.)
Lol. - Funny haha, but not kidding.
Both mine and my wife's hands are pretty
Beat up.

But to sum it up... This was well worth the
Price to have the handles already painted, assembled and ready to swap as Anthony provided very well in my honest opinion.

The reward aftwards is immediate satisfaction.

Enjoy folks... Have Fun with it in all seriousness, and just try to stay calm and don't get too stressed as this can certainly can Be done. Just don't throw anything... Lol.

I did this mod fine in my opinion, it's very tedious and I'm super OCD. I was also successful to not drop anything inside the doors as well Woohoo.! ( Hint - A small telescoping magnet will be your best friend on this job.! ) I feel you guys that haven't done this yet deserve to know ahead to just be prepared is all I recommend. The tools are very minimal, but it's time consuming If it's your first time in all fairness.

In my final review-

All in all I'm very satisfied with this mod.!
Thank you again Anthony... Great job
On ur attention to detail on having everything prepared and ready to go.
The paint job was in all honesty for all the curves, and super tiny detailed areas were all Done very very professionally.!
Great work my man.!


And FYI - Anthony, I'm returning the core to
The address you sent them from tomorrow
Afternoon. I assume that's correct.?
I'll send tracking info as well.

Let me know when you get them so
I can get my refund for the core charge as well.

Enjoy the attached pic of the final product on
A magnetic black 2016 nismo.!
