I ordered them through Pace Performance but believe they got them from a GM supplier.smwalker wrote:Hz where did yo get yours from? GM?Hzgray wrote:Believe my silver ones matched. At least same color code.
No Collin much more difference than just the lock barrel. Think the internal mechanisms in the door are different. The good news is the 14+ handles are common on many more vehicles besides the G8 in addirion tohaving a good selection in the atermarket. Look back a few pages I think I listed all the models, but Camaro, cruze etc are possibilities. And for the most part if you want a painted and chrome option they are opposite from the 11-13 in that they have chrome in the center and painted edges.PPV4ME wrote:Has anyone tried the G8 handles on a 14+ where the doors changed in design from earlier models? I am assuming they still work as long as you're willing to lose the passenger lock cylinder or find the correct corresponding cap but wanted to make sure before I pull the trigger on a set. Thanks for any insight.

And the guy just took another 10% off these suckers, He must be sitting on a mound of em!smwalker wrote:If true this deal too good to pass up. Says OEM handles, they got the part number right and they got a GM box pictured. One downfall they are in striker blue so a repaint of the handles or the car is in order. Cant beat that price just the for the chrome part is a good deal:

A FB member has a set ordered I will post here if he finds they are or poor quality or some kind of counterfeit.
Edit: reports are very good quality, factory parts.
I bit... I might try doing a carbon fiber vinyl cover, or have a body shop owner I know hold on to them until he paints something gloss black.smwalker wrote:smwalker wrote:
