Painted door handle swap. I replaced the stock black exterior door handles with some Tahoe/Suburban painted to match white handles. The passenger side handle doesnt have a key hole. The color is Summit White and part numbers are as follows:
*Driver side with keyhole (Left Hand side)- 15015963
*Passenger side w/out keyhole (Right Hand side) - 15182403

New handle for pass side. Notice there is no keyhole. The other pic is a comparison of the old handle vs the new handle to be installed:

Removing old handle. Its held on by 3 bolts that are not too easy to get to from inside the door panel. You must remove the plastic paneling to get to the bolts. Using a 10mm socket to remove the easiest of the bolts, then a 10mm open/closed end wrench for the other 2, I loosened the handle.

Then I removed the clips that attach to the latch and lock rods. They are just small clips that easily slide back. Once this is done, you can just take out the handle and replace with the new one.

But since the passenger side handl originally had a keyhole and I am replacing it with a new painted handle that doesnt, I had to tie down the lock mechanism rod. I used a plastic zip tie and attached the rod to the door wiring.

Once thats out of the way, I proceeded to replace the handle with the new one. Just going in reverse, I attached the clip for the handle rod and bolted it on.
