I think the JP chrome handles are a nice touch for those who likes chrome and have other touches like the trunk bar and/or grille and/or wheels ...

Those are crazy awesome, but the only fear that i have is that they are going to get really hot. I remember having and aluminum shift **** in my Camry, and in the summer it would be like grabbing the wrong end of a hot poker. hope thats not the case with these, because im actually kinda diggin those.

I would think these chrome pieces repel heat since they almost act like mirrors...plus they're made of high- impact plastic. The black color of JP's car will certainly retain heat....which probably transfers to the chrome door handles....which results in the nicely warm feel.

Stage 3....your handle was made of aluminum...thus it will get hot under the sun.

I'm not really feeling those, but, I think it would be hot if it was just the handle part that moves that was chrome. The outside piece the same color of the car. I wonder if they can be taken apart, then mixed and matched.

Man, if you keep adding JP parts to the list, the budget is going to need to increase too.
