Default Ah poo

My beastly strong girlfriend broke my passenger side door handle.
So now I need to replace that.
Are all 2g handles the same, so I know before I get one?

I'm fairly certain they all are, but wanna be 100%

Yea, i've heard it myself.

It sucks cause I just got it back 5 days ago, and then that.

Oh well.

Ordered 2 off eBay (probally a mistake, but we'll see) for $30.
Gonna go ahead and change both just in case.

Outside.
I've changed quite a few handles on other cars, so it wouldnt be that bad for me.

My car had an attempt of stealing. Flat head under the door handle where the gasket is. Bent the door a bit. Door handle no longer opens the door. Turned out some rod inside was nocked off only. But the door still has a little pry mark. Also found the flat head close to where i parked when the snow melted lol.. Souvenir
