Ok besides the sway bars and stuff. I want to make my silver RS look like a GS. I hate the black door handles and no side skirts. I dont think it will be too hard to find silver mirrors around.
1) How much do you think it would cost to get my black door handles painted silver, or if that isnt possible..How much are they from the dealers.
2) I dont think it will be too terribly hard to find some side skirts and door caps for sale, but how hard is it to put them on my car? I know there is a little drilling aparently. I will probably just have a shop do it for me. But how hard/much would that be.

also, a GS has power mirrors and the plastic on the doors inside the car is "softer touch" stuff, the RS has hard plastic which looks the same but feels completly different, and I know my car has no padding underneath the carpet, not sure if the GS has any, but I know 1st gen AWDs have padding under the carpet, that might be something else to check, if you really want to bother

dont replace the black parts, just get them painted. you could get the mirrors and door handles painted for about $100. no more than $200. also if you are converting completely to a GS and dont already have these, you would have to upgrade the stereo, power options, add a rear hatch cover, rear spoiler, rear wiper, fog lights, alloy wheels (i got mine for sale if you want) and convert the rear drum brakes to rotors.

I have almost all the stuff you said except for wiper and foglights. I actually just bought some chrome GS-T wheels and tires for $500. Is it even possible to put a rear wiper on. That would be pretty handy in North Dakota. Do the GS fogs hook up easy to an RS?

You can get Pilot motorsports factory look a-like fog lights. I bought them and love em. Got them for $100 at coolwheels.com

I think my RS actually has all those options. Not sure, I bought it used about 4 months ago. I have power everything, cargo net, floor mats (I dont know if they are real factory ones or not, doesn't say eclipse or anything on it), and CD and what not. I dont have ABS although I dont think it was actually an option on the RS models. What other option couldnt the RS get that the GS could?

I just priced painting and installing side skirts at about $275. I forgot to ask how much to paint the door handles and mirrors, which I want to do also. I can't imagine it would be more than $200 to paint handles and mirrors.
