Wow. Mine are flaking off and cutting up my hand, so I decided to go the HD route since they are chrome. Well, you can't just buy the handles anymore and the price has more than doubled. $203 for both, since you must buy the whole latch kit. Talked to a guy at fordpartsonline and although he was very nice, there was no deal, even after mentioning this web site.

Hopefully should have them in a week or so.

 

the HD chrome versions are also just a sticker/wrap like the 03/04 Lightning.

 

Does anyone sell a plain polished one that I can replace it with ? This is on an '04 Lightning with 5000 miles. Thanks for your help. DanF

 

Are you sure? I was thinking about doing the same thing on my 03L, as the drivers side is starting to get a little sharp.

 

Chikenear's need's to do something about this!!!: They have some of the nicest stuff out there!!
Come on Tim, make us some door handles!!!

Mine is a very early 03 and it has one black and one chrome.
I wanted to change it but I left it alone because I didnt want the panel to be loose and rattle.
It makes a good conversation piece.

 

Ah don't worry about that. I've had my door panel off too many times to remember and there is no rattles. Now as for the sliding glass latch. If I could only stop that thing from ticking.
