Card hold above driver's door

Does anyone know if the card holder above the driver's door can be replaced with an 'oh [censored] handle'? I'm thinking that an 'oh [censored] handle' will bolt in the same holes as the card holder.

The driver generally doesn't need such a handle, as both hands are hanging on to the steering wheel. Besides, the card holder is handy for parking lot tickets and such.

Family pictures! Or even a pic of a hit job target (real easy to simply glance up at it, instead of endangering yourself or others fumbling through you wallet while driving).

Actually, several ppl replaced their cardholder with the handle last year. Apparently, the handle set that goes above the passenger door is a direct fit with no mods required.

The part number is 73940-AL500. The installation instructions are at mywebpages.comcast.net/tyannone/G35_grab_handle.htm. Note that steps 2 - 4 are unnecessary. Just snap the ends of the handle into the openings.

Notice they say that's the part number for the willow interior. I guess they haven't looked inside a graphite car... the headliner is still willow. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Card hold above driver's door

I didn't change my card holder, just remembered others that did. I think the price was about $40 or $45 from the parts dept at the dealers.

According to johnzg35, it looks like the cost is $25.88.

Thanks johnzg35 for the part number and pics of the install.

Re: Card hold above driver's door

Maybe it's just my old memory. [img]/w3timages/icons/blush.gif[/img] $26 USD would work as well as it's about $40 CDN.[img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img] Anyway, at least I still remembered the mod from last year![img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
