Default Chrome door handles?

Do you guys think I should put chrome door handles on my 1997 LX450? If so, do u think full chrome (like the 2007 LX470 Limited edition) or textured chrome (below)? Any input would be great. Thanks!

If it were me, I would chrome only the pull-handle itself, not the surrounding piece. And I would go with non-textured smooth chrome. For some reason, that textured chrome just does not look very good to me. But hey, it's your car . . . . .

I would probably pass on it all together if it were me, I'm not a big fan of aftermarket chrome and the door handles on the 450 really just disappear normmally, and I think that's a good thing. But if you do go chrome, I'd go for the full chrome like the 07LX not the textured stuff, Textured looks like its cheap/imitation.

I wouldn't do it if it was my LX. GL
