Question:
1) taking the handles out easy? Just remove the door panels and unscrew the handles? Any airbag risks?
2) what does "prime-coated" mean? Matt Black? same look as the black trims on the bumpers?
3) I hate the keyhole and I never use it anyway. And since mine is a RHD, can I use the part #14 for LHD and replace part #09 for RHD?

Thanks man.

I can help you a little here... "PRIME-COATED" refers to it being primed for painting, the primer is a base used on every piece before aplying the paint so the paint sticks better, it is sprayed just like the paint and is usually grey color. As far as replacing the keyhole I suppose it can be done since there's not much science to it but I'm no pro in this area so don't take my word for it.
