Looking to purchase new outer door handles for my 69. Anybody have any recommendations on which place sells the nicest ones that also fit nice with no tweaking. NPD says theirs is concourse style for $76 per pair. Ausley's has a pair of $59. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I bought mine from Hinshaws but the did require a little bending of the push rod.
No big deal though.

I bought the "concourse style" complete kit from NPD for my 71. I was pleased with the fit and quality. The push button rods were pre-bent. They are made by Trim Parts.

Buy the ones from Trim Parts. They have the best repop stuff around.

The ones I bought fit and look fine so not all repros fit bad.

The Trim Parts handles are the ones licensed by GM.
