Not exactly NOS , they are new aftermarket... I have a set on my car , pretty good quality :D
I have a pair as well.
Are they metal?
Yes.
ehh... my bad. I guess so little stuff is made aftermarket for us that when I see something is "new" I automatically assume NOS
...editing title...
you have these exact ones... are they completely metal?? I need to get a set while i'm redoing my doors inside....
Yes,they are metal...the handle and the base that bolts (or rivets) to the door with a plastic shield that goes between the handle and the car.Mine came with rivets,but I use bolts.Took about 30 minutes to swap them both (the old ones were bolt on replacements from years ago).Made a huge difference.
Are our handles different than Mustang handles?
Nope , they are the same , Escorts too.
I was parked next to our crown vic yesterday, the chrome and illuminated entry lock looks the exact same.
nice one,, was gonna add that as well but you did already
you guys are too young to remember but when they first
came out they were labeld w/an E1FZ prefix[escort]
Doesnt that just mean 81' ford part?
