Two in one post:
First question is I'm wondering if you guys know where/how I can replace the rubber around the handles of my M3. They are dry and cracking.
Second question, I'm wanting to get a more aggressive looking front lip (currently it's stock). I'm looking at the Rieger vs the Max Velocity. Can I get your opinion on those? Which looks better in your opinion, which is the better product, ease of installation, etc etc. Any advice on those is appreciated.

You have to get behind it. There is a tab on the back of the handle housing inside the door that you push forwards and back to release and lock the exterior trim in place. Not easy to get do to the window, brackets etc.
Yes and no. Yes, you have to push the lock forward though a hold in the door (jamb side, above the latch). No, you don't have to mess with the window or brackets. Once you push the lock forward to unlock the trim from the door, the trim (plastic and rubber) pulls out away from the door from the top. The bottom has hinges on each side. Remove the trim/rubber. Remove the rubber gasket. Install new gasket on trim, then place trim back on it's hinges and push it into the door. Hold it in place while you pull the lock back into place.
As for the lips, it's personal preference. I personally like the sock lip, GT lip, or ACS lip.

Ok just double checking again with you guys that I can replace the door handle gasket through this hole and without removing the inside door panel? I've seen people say you have to do it both ways. Just whichever way is correct and obviously the least invasive on my vehicle.

Ok I do got it! Realize I was pushing on the correct thing but only to a certain point and after that my tool was resting against something on the inside of the do, I just couldn't see it. Moved it a bit and got both of them. Thanks everyone.
