much thanks to TNpartsguy for helping with the detective work. these are the door handles from the Matrix XRS. you can find that info 'HEREthey are a nice touch... its the little things, ya know?Its a super easy install. get the door panel off, pry the existing handle off from the back.the door lock is just a stiff wire wrapped around a knob and the door handle connects to a threaded cable that 'drops' into the handle. takes 5 minutes.for those of you wondering, those are Grafxwerks molding coverings on my 05. its the metallic platinum color. it fits pretty good and matches the window control bezel pretty good too. i don't have the chrome insert, so that is on the plastic panel.

Looking VERY good! I think that's a much needed interior improvement, those stock door handles are pretty darn cheeseball, IMHO. The door panel trim from grafxwerks is quite nice too. Keep up the good work! And what did the chrome do for the LED's up in the door panels at night?Hmm... Is the ol' Vibe worth the cost? I'm thinking possibly... lol
