I would like to just get the chrome for the handle part, not the entire door handle housing. Too much chrome is to bling bling! But I think just the handle in chrome would look awsome!

Why not take the door handle off, and paint it with that chrome paint someone on here was using on their coolant tanks?

That paint wouldn't hold up on the door handles.

Thought about it, trust me!! I was the one who did the chrome paint on the coolant and power steering tanks. It might be a viable option after a few months go by and I see how the paint holds up.

But you dont touch your coolant tanks everyday. That cheap ass chrome spray paint wont hold up too good when you grab and pull on your handle multiple times each day.

The look of it is an opinion, personally though, just because it's a stick on I would never use it.
If it was a true chrome handle I would say go for it, but....a stick on? eww..

i think they look nice on the right kind of car. i mean you need to have things to complement the chrome. its easy to do on black. Id never use them jsut because they dont go with my car at all. if she likes them, go for it. all that matters is that shes happy
