Well, as I said in another thread, I broke my door handle, was quoted around $250 to get it fixed, so I decided to take to my trusty mechanic to see what he can do (my dad).

For future reference...here is what we did. Sorry I don't have any pics, but I don't want to be anywhere near my camera when I am as dirty as I get.

Anyways, getting the door handle out was a MOTHA, but once we did, we tried to super glue it back together. As a few of you guessed, that didn't work, at all. So my dad grabbed his air drill and bit, drilled a hole through the plastic piece that attaches to the rod into the plastic piece that attaches to the handle, and screwed them together with a small bevel headed screw surrounded by superglue!!

Hey, whatever works, I have a functional door handle again, nobody can tell the difference, and I saved $250.

I bought a New Door Handle for $45 shipped and it took me 45 minutes to get it installed.

It's not hard - just time consuming. I would not been able to do it myself without the help of this forum since someone actually wrote a How To Step by Step on removing and installing the door handle.

I printed it out and followed it step by step and was done in 45 minutes. I did a search on "Broken Door Handle" here and found the info needed.

$250.00 to replace the door handle - what a rip off. Glas you got it to work.

Sorry dude, I couldn't take pics. My dad and I were doing maintenence on the car as well and we were both dirty as fuck and I don't want to ruin my camera. Basically I drilled a holl and screwed the 2 pieces together.

And to Optikal and Myke, I would shave my door handle, but I want to go performance first, stage III maybe, take it to the track a few times, and then do the body work.

DoOd, that is why I said I want to do the performance first, run at the track a few times, THEN get the body work done when I don't feel the need to go to the track anymore.

Door handles are ugly so I took them out. At my track I can run but only friday night grudge racing and stuff.
