[QUOTE="Gripstang, post: 4576885, member: 35107"] I considered that but now its almost too much so unless I decide to paint something behind the seats Im done. Thanks for the comments guys. Fleeman: There is the plastic piece that runs vertically just behind the rear edge of the window pull that out straight. Pull off the plate that goes behind the door handle. Behind these two pieces are a bolt (total of 2) unbolt those and you can lift up on the whole door panel. The window switch/lock plate also pops out and you can slide that through the hole in the door panel. If you have an older L you will have a light in the door this is attatched (and removed) with a twist, sort of like the air sensor thing in the airbox. Once this is done there is one bolt holding the handle assymbly in place take that out then easily remove the cable. I sanded with 3 grades of paper then used tack cloth. After that I used a plastic adhesion promotor (best stuff on earth if you are gonna paint plastics!) followed by 2 light coats of primer 3 light coats of white paint then 2 light and 1 medium coat(s) of clear coat. I did about the same thing on the other parts of my interior and I have to say it has held up well. I chipped some paint once when I got in a hurry installing my boost guage and steering pod but a little touch up was all it needed. Hit me up if you have any more questions! :beer: Oh btw isnt it great when you buy a used vehicle and come across hidden goodies? My head unit SUCKS but I found some nice Pioneer speakers in the doors. :) The system the guy put in is a very miss-matched mix but Im gonna keep the Pioneers the Sony amp and the Kicker solo baric sub. Im gonna need a nice HU and some other goodies but those door speakers will be great when I give em some power. :) [/QUOTE]
