Default 97-01 Chrome door handles

How do you guys feel about these.

Would it be too over the top or would they match up with some chrome wheels?

I think it will be too much chrome in one place. But if you like it go for it.

No. They are different designs.

Hmm. They are only covers. But if you don't mind about that, than I'd say go for it. I can't really imagine how it would look.
RollinRX3 is right... maybe too much chrome. But what could look good, is if you bout the set, and than only put the chrome on the actual door handle, not the whole thing. That would look cool I guess.

That is what I was thinking. Only using the handle part. Just a slim line of chrome, not the whole cover.

I like them. Works better if you have some wheels with polish/chrome lips and other trims.
