Seems pointless and more trouble than worth.

They're sold ond eBay already color matched. Not my cup of tea though. I did the opposite on the Forester, went from factory chrome door handles to color matched.

If they are just the stick on ones, then do it up. You can get them for only a few bucks and if you get tired of them...they can come off with a heat gun and Goo-gone to remove the 3M sticky tape. If you can only get actual handles that are chrome plated, then it might be too much of a pain to swap them back and forth. But if you like it, do it up!

Not a fan of chromes because they look cheap. Anyway, go for it if you really like it.

I like the look, if you're not going overboard. As long as you don't get stick-on chrome EVERYTHING ...
