Exterior Door Handle Removal??
I've been searching and can't find anything about how to remove the outside factory handles. Ideas? I'd be doing this to put on the painted ones with the chrome handle from the Mark LT to match my black paint job. All help is appreciated! Thanks.

search again, i know i did a search yesterday and found a whole instruction things with pics. basically you take off the door panel, and a few bolts, it seems like the most difficult thing to do will be to mess with the latch rod.

Lol...well I've changed my list of mods to the truck.
The ARE arrives in two weeks. Thats when they'll fix the billet grill and repaint the front bumper. Then I'm talking to my dealership to give me Ford molded splash guards for the extra mileage on the truck and then I'm asking the body shop to sand and paint them with the extra paint from the tonneau. Then the body shop is also going to paint that little plastic base by the radio antenna. Then I'm ordering the black buckets with chrome handles that are on the Mark LT. Those will get put on next month when I have the power retractable mirrors which will be painted to match the body installed. Then I'll stop spending money till July when the one touch windows and Viper alarm/remote start is installed. By then one of you guys will come up with a really cool mod and I'll probably be doing that too.
Things already completed:
Paint Protection - underbody coating, inbetween doors and exterior paint
35% Tinted Windows
Ford Tubular Chrome Step ups
Billet grill - upper and lower

No the body shop is painting the ARE lid. They don't come from ARE painted. The shop orders it from ARE and then they have to prep and paint the lid to match the truck. Then they have to repaint my bumper which they scratched the heck out of and the touch up spots on the rest of the truck.
