Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following.
Give your second-generation F-body a clean, aggressive blackout appearance with the Hawks Motorsports Pro Pack Blackout Exterior Door Handle and Lock Kit. This comprehensive 27-piece package combines Satin Black exterior door handles and lock cylinders with the necessary handle rods, gaskets, connecting clips, trunk extension rod, and retainer nuts.
The Satin Black finish removes the traditional chrome appearance from the exterior door handles and visible lock cylinders. This creates a coordinated, blacked-out look that works especially well with modern restomods, pro-touring builds, custom paint schemes, and factory-inspired exterior restorations featuring black trim.
After four to five decades of regular use, the exterior door handles, connecting rods, clips, gaskets, and lock components on a second-generation Camaro, Firebird, Formula, or Trans Am can become worn, brittle, loose, or difficult to operate. Replacing these common failure points together with the Pro Pack is a smart way to restore dependable door and lock operation while avoiding the frustration of replacing one aging component only to have to have another fail shortly afterward.
A repaint or exterior restoration is also the ideal time to replace these components. Removing the old handles, locks, and deteriorated gaskets before painting allows the doors to be properly prepared and painted beneath each component. Installing the new Satin Black handles, locks, and gaskets after the paint has cured provides a clean, professional finish without visible tape-off marks, old gasket outlines, or rough overspray edges.
