Chrome Door Handles?

The chrome door handles look really nice on silver and are not hard to keep clean at all!

The color choice between the black chrome or just chrome would be a personal choice based on your taste and car color?

I say go for it and you won't be dissapointed!

Although the installation was performed by my mechanic, it didn't take long at all with the necessary tools. The rear doors were a little harder than the front but the entire job took about 30-40 minutes!

Here is a shot of mine on my ride:

Good luck and I say go for it!

Yeah... that parking job made me cringe... anyways the chrome does look proper on silver, but I think the black chrome would look best with tinted windows plus those black on polished silver sherlock society 19"s, hopefully I can get a better price, I wont allow myself to spend almost 4 bills on door handles...

Just an update to anyone interested, there is a seller on ebay(tabakyonjp@yahoo.co.jp) who sells the chrome ($265 shipped to you) and the black chrome ($335 shipped to you) door handles. He is the same guy who is selling the wood grain steering wheels all over this forum, everyone has been giving him great feedback, just figured I would share this information for anyone interested. These are the best prices I have come across so far...
