As a fellow black car owner, I wouldn't do it unless you were going the vip route.

I was just giving you guys a hard time, but as debonair said, chrome handle aren't my (or his) cup of tea.

To the OP, lower your car before you spend a penny on anything else. I'd stay away from the chrome handles on your car, but that's just me. If I were you, I'd shave the Lexus and GSxxx emblems off the rear as well, to my eyes the chrome trunk bar and all 3 emblems is a little too busy.

IMO, the chrome door handles are much trickier on a dark colored car than white or silver; they can very easily end up standing out too much or leading to too much chrome.

and my final thought it...."chrome don't get ya home" but I think that was meant for drag racing and all that chrome crap theyput int he engine bays. Perosnally, I don't like chrome on a black car, silver and white is good, but not black....unless it is done absolutely perfect.

What rims are those? Niiiiiice! Also like the spoiler. Looks good on silver but on a black car I prefer sticking to black. Doesn't look bad on a black car but I think I would spend the money on something else.
