Default Chrome Door handles

Anybody have pics of a glacier frost with chrome door handles? I was thinking of getting them. On my drivers side door, the back of the handle has a break in it from god knows what...im sure lexus will charge me an arm and a leg to fix it. So if it is cheaper to get the chrome kit i might do it. I just want to see what it would look like. Thanks in advance!

That should be covered through warranty.

The Chrome door handles doesn't replace the OEM handles. It's only a overlay.

i would go in there and say that you noticed it one day, and there has been no "foul play" involved... hopefully they will do it for you. but IMHO, damage not caused by a defect or problem with the design of the vehicle, isnt covered on a warranty.

are there any marks that would show force or anything like that? if everything looks normal (other than the crack itself of course), i dotn see why they wouldnt replace it.

LOL. You better take a closer read of the warranty. Someone scratches your door (that's between the bumpers), you think that's covered?

Why would the OP lie and try to defraud the dealer over a small thing like that.

Which begs the question: can you post a picture of what it does look like?
