    One final part left to find: rear hatch handle! Any assistance welcome.

    Only one part left to find and I will have every part on the car that I want, without having to buy the sr trim. If the part exists that is, but I am assuming that it must. I need to find out the number for the rear hatch handle so I can either get it coloured to match the rest of the handles, or the body ( I am assuming that its just like the handles listed on their website, and is available in certain colours). Anyone have a number I can go bother my dealer with lol? Will post as soon as I find out the part number/price, or if its available.

    I found this. Not the authentic part.. But you could strip and paint the cover...

    Well if I get the side sills they will have to be painted, so maybe I will try to just get them to remove and paint the hatch handle worst case scenario.

    Looks like it would be easy to get to.. There doesnt seem to be much holding that pad on the trunk lid that covers the handle on the inside.. Strip it, prime it, paint it. Napa used to (Maybe they still do) sell a rattle can of color-matched paint for 20 bucks. Might be a good way to do all those little bits and parts.

    problem is I if I am getting the side sills painted they will be matched to the car, whereas I am getting all of the handles and the mirrors done in the shiny black colour to match the sr spoiler. Though I have no problem getting them to paint the extra part, problem is it will match the car. Yes the hatch handles when finished match the colour of the car but I really want to get all the handles, the two mirror covers and the spoiler to match. Worst case scenario, red. Best case scenario I can locate a shiny black handle to put on the back of the vehicle.

    Are you also doing SR wheels & tires, or picking another style of wheel?

    Nah, I think those are a bit pricey for rims. at $799 I could probably negotiate a pair of enkei or konig wheels that weight sub 15lbs each, for a little more. The tires I am not so sure about yet, only concern would be putting some good winters on the steelies around november.
