I have no clue. Hopefully you've got both a good dealer and a good bodyshop you trust.

What is the rear door handle mod?

the front door handle has a key hole...the read does not, and fits into the driver door.

so they replace the driver side door handle with the rear door handle.

This way it is a little more confusing to the theif who attempts to get into my car...again.

that is a good idear it would also give the car a smoother look!

the body shop recommended it, and I've seen it on the forum...

not at the engine bay - they just look at from the side - smile with some goofy look on their face (like they just smelled something bad), then they wash the car and say,

"Well, looks good to us." and send you on your way!

I bought my car certified (a week before it was stolen)...and I had a few questions about what they actually did to certify the car.

But in their defense, they did replace all 4 tires and all brake rotors and pads.

But I'm not sure about the rest...I do believe they simply detail the car and slap a certification sticker in the window.

I know someone who bought a certified car and later discovered it was chipped!
