I did all 4 doors on my FA5 today. It looks awesome, I love it. It's basically the same Idea as the coupe but there was a lot more drilling. I drilled out the plastic rivits just right and there are holes in the studs that you can put screws in just like the factory screws that are used on the handle and armrest. They actually had screws at home depot that were very similar to the factory ones. That way you dont have to use the epoxy so if you want to change the color all you have to do is take out the screws. I'm gonna put up some pics for the sedan owners that want to give it a go.

I do but It's not letting me upload them. It keeps saying attatchment error and It only lets me upload 1 picture. And when I do my other pictures from other threads get removed. I can't figure it out and it's pissing me off.
