Can you post pics of the old lock ***** with your new ones?

I will dig for some pics. No deals. Im not sponsored but what Darrel does do is help me out with my crazy ideas

haha...I send him a few emails when I get these crazy ideas to mod more stuff.

In return I like to send them as much of my business as possible. Prices are great but most important is the service that I get from Darrel. I sometimes find myself just getting stuff because of all his help

Has anyone done the LS leather door lock mod?

I guess we take the doors off to replace this lock? The all chrome piece would be replaced with a leather/chrome piece. Looks classy to me and the mod is pretty cheap.

I have these on my IS F and I really like them. The door panels are easy to get (on the IS F) off getting the old lock off is a bit of a PITA though. The new ones snap into place easily.

its easy to replace, mine came off very easy. You just have to take off the door panel to access and remove.

Come on Henry you know you want them

I also eliminated my passenger door rattle...I did nothing more then take off the panel and place it back on

Hope it lasts

Call me stupid, but can't find a DIY for the removal of the doorpanel...
I want to change the "wood trim", so want to find out whether its glued or screwed.... Can somebody help ?

Here is the link to the door panel

Wood trim on the door is screwed as PASSNU mentioned above.
