Hello,
Do you mean chrome handles like these ones?

I just finished getting them in my car! They look very nice, indeed.
Take a look at you haynes manual, chapter 11, section 9 ( the page marked 11.9)
Yes, you will have to remove the doorcard ( 3 screws) and then remove the old handle, just pull, and you will notice that it's connected to the cable that opens the door, which is hook shaped, just get the new chrome handle in with it and your set to go.
10m job ( or maybe more if it's your first time!)
If you have any doubts PM me
