#24323, "Cheap ass door handles"


          

Yup it happened again I broke my fuckin door handle, this is the 3rd one I have broken. Those door handles are the biggest peices of shit I have ever seen. And I know I am not the first to break them either, I know someone else on this board has broken them before.

you have to admit though.. its a brilliant scheme by mitsu to make some more money... fucking bastards!!! it prob costs all of 25cents to make each handle (esp with the shitty quality of them) and they charge some ridiculous amount for parts and labor... damn bastids!

hey
You have hanged the the front bumper cover from 95 to 97. How does it fit, because on the picture it looks like it isn't a perfect fit- the bumper doesn't align with the fender.

> hey

>isn't a perfect fit- the bumper doesn't align with the
>fender. and your butt bumper needs a good pounding if you know what i mean *wink wink* let me know if i can be of some assistance...

the fit on the bumper is perfect.. but, i broke off the a couple bolts during the installation of the new bumper and the alignment kind of shifted a bit. once i get the two bolts replaced it will line up again... also, due to the ricer that i bought the bumper from, he put vinyl stickers all over the bumper which made the paint sort of change colors... and i dont really know what you are talking about the butt bumper needing a good pounding... huh?

Yep, I've also got mine broken. I think it was 60 bucks. Its even higher at other places. Then they were gonna charge me 140 bucks for labor. WTF???!!! Hell no, I'm keepin 140 bucks for myself. Took me the whole day, some minor scratches, but well worth it. If it happens to me one more time, I'm prolly gonna shave my door handles already...

Got the door handle for $40 and I installed it my self in about a half hour. I am a mechanic for Dodge and I do that kinda shit all day. Repitition is the key to makin money in the automotive business.
