Modified door handles?

Any suggestions or photos on modified flush mount door handles, possibly from a later model truck? Not afraid to hack and weld...

Re: Modified door handles?

I think it would be great, seems like I've seen billit ones, there must be a way to change it over from a push button to a pull open type handle?

Re: Modified door handles?

Here's a cool idea that I thought about doing, but the problem would be water getting in the pushbutton area and rusting out the hardware beneath.

Re: Modified door handles?

I like that Chrysler door handle-kinda wished I had used that instead of shaving.

Re: Modified door handles?

yeah Frizzle! spot on, i have always liked those nissan handles! the murano especially! i would love to get my grubby little hands on a wrecked murano and chop the crap out of it. the brown or orange interior is badass, the handles rock, and i am sure there is loads of good stuff to take from it (dreamin) hmmmmmmm.

Not sure why my first pic is a dead link, but ya, it's an Infinity FX45 (like the Murano). I'll use those on something for sure.
