MBlue color matched door handles

Just got my door handles color matched and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Nice subtle change thats cheap to do and really makes a huge difference in the look of the car. D&V Automotive did the painting for about $90 and I was going to install them myself but they only charged me $30 for that so I figured why not.

Ill def try to get some better pictures soon, the sun had just set and my camera isn't all that great which is why that pic is pretty grainy. So the plan is to buy some advan RS-D wheels, black w/ polished lip, over the winter in preparation for the summer. I was worried that with those wheels would make the handles stick out even more which is why I got them painted. The stock handles weren't all that bad since they matched the stock wheels but since I plan on changing the wheel colors the handles had to be fixed.

couple other pics but still not all that great quality, and the wheels Im looking at.

the headlight mod is really good. I have it and love it.

Great price, it looks classy and should have come from the factory in the same fashion IMO

m4a1mustang 10-25-2010 07:13 PM

Saw them in person last weekend. They look great!

ZCarMan 10-25-2010 07:21 PM

Makes a really huge difference IMO!

cab83_750 10-25-2010 08:35 PM

As I said before, looks nice!

Though I bet that had Nissan delivered the cars with matching door handles, we would all be replacing them with aircraft-quality aluminum units!!!! :)

oh well, we all try to be unique and never get satisfied. Let's stop spending money...we have a recession going here. :) :)

Ive drooled over the pics of your car a few times now. You def have one of my favorite looking z's on this board.

Mr&Mrs 11-01-2010 08:52 PM

Very nice I recommend this as a first mod all the time. I did not get my buttons painted though in fear of them chipping so I have a tiny spec of silver showing still, but it looks good none the less. If your buttons hold up for a while let me know I may get mine touched up.

Bluebatmobile 11-01-2010 11:49 PM

Clean :).

Door handles
 
I told you everybody tries to rip me off I got my quote back from D and V today and they quoted me $422. After I called back and said you guys are crazy then they quoted me $185.


I pretty ticked off right now...:shakes head:

not sure what to tell you dude. Maybe after doing a few sets they realized it was more work than what they were charging for? Hard to say really, just keep shopping around till you find a price you can live with.

I'd consider that a win in my opinion.
