Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Door handles

[Paul Hancock <kwikbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Todd I have an extra used set of handles, one satin and the other is what I now know they called pebbled. Couldn't figure out how two handles off one car could be so different, but just figured out from you that they are off different cars. I can only hope the ones I ordered are the smoother ones as they look much better to me
