Hey I have a 1996 eclipse RS and recently, the passenger side door handle on the outside of the car broke off.. I plan on buying another one but I have a question. I don't want to look tacky so should I buy the same exact new one for the driver side too? And I'm curious if I can just two of the same door handle because some say passenger and some say driver but are sold by two different companies and don't look the same.

Driver and passenger side are different. The rs came with the unpainted black handles right? That's how most replacements are sold. If not, then just paint the handle whatever color it was.

Thee door handles are not that expensive. I would just buy the passenger one. I got it off a company on ebay. It's basically a hit and miss on how long it would last.
I had a handle last 2 years to a new one only lasting 8 months.
I changed it out so much I could do it in the dark. Ok, maybe not in the dark
