Maybe just the half chrome ones, assuming they will stay on the car.. Not sure why Lexus cant put chrome handles on them to begin with, my Honda Pilot even had chrome handles......
Its just a styling choice. If anything chrome handles are probably less expensive to produce than painted handles.

So I shouldn't buy them then right? Are you gonna return them or just take the loss?

Hi, I installed these on my matador red mica 2014 ES. They look sharp. Not too much chrome. Just enough to make a difference

..Are you talking about the ones that has the lexus logo and attach on the face of the handle?? Are they chrome or stainless finish AND how is the adhesive holding up?
