Whats the story with door handle color?
All early-build ’95 m/y Neons had the textured, molded black door handles. Beginning with the debut of the Sport Coupe in August ’95, all Sports received the painted, color-matched handles. The Base (thus ACR) and Highline cars kept the molded black door handles. This lineup continued throughout the ’96 m/y. The painted door handles were discontinued for the ’97 m/y; all Neons received the molded black handles. The Dodge R/T and the Plymouth Style models brought the painted handles back for the ’98 and ’99 m/ys; ACRs began receiving color-matched handles in the late fall of 1997. Consequently the door handle color for ACRs of this period varies by build date. All other Neons through the ’99 m/y have black textured door handles.1.6.
