I like them painted and color-matched.

I'll chime in since Rashoodz is using my post anyway LOL.

--If the full chrome handle look is more your style (ie- ES, LS), be prepared to spend a lot more than $300 for the parts, and be prepared for a lot more work, since you have to take apart the door to put them on. Also, since the rear handles on all of those vehicles have the smartkey feature, you will have a button on the rear handles that is visible yet not functional.

--Also, someone on club lexus has done the ES handle switch.....you might want to do a search. I can't remember who did it but I do remember seeing it awhile ago

--With regard to the price: yes, it's expensive for what it is, but it's really no different than spending $300 for a lip spoiler.....just think of it as a price per cosmetic change ratio as when you're doing any other cosmetic purchase. Some people pay more money for something that has less of a change.

In the end, I'm very happy with them. It breaks up the monotony of the car and gives a nice accent (similar to what pinstripes do on other cars)
