Home Depot sells them even cheaper!

 

Look for nylon plugs in the hardware store. They should be in the section for nuts, bolts, washers, etc., or cabinet hardware. For '05 and later, use 11/16" in the upper hole and 5/8" in the lower. Total cost for me (both doors) was about $2. An '04 or earlier uses 3 plugs per door (don't know what sizes). Metal plated including chrome are also available.

2 11/16", 1 5/8" for <='04

 

I have been looking for this self-mod forever. Thanks for the sizes!

 

Looks great, it looks like a perfect fit if your door color is grey...my only problem is that MY car is hyper metallic blue, so the doors are blue as well.

 

perfect for the doors. thanks
anyone know how to change the shiftknob

 

The stock manual shift **** is friction fit. Pull to remove. If it doesn't come off, you're not pulling hard enough. If it still doesn't come off, don't be a wimp and pull even harder.

Don't know about the automatic shift ****.

 

so just tug on it till it comes off.
I wonder if someone hit themselves in the face while attempting this. lol it sounds to easy to be true.
