Yeah I like it a lot. Debating whether I would like it on the red.

Looks awesome!

That looks real good.. but.. God damn its ridiculous how much orange peel we have on the factory paint. So obvious in these pics.

Anybody with a 40th done this yet?

Think I paid about $150. Was getting some other work done (after a tornado went through my town) and decided to go ahead and let them do it. I remember the shop talking about it being a pain to do, not sure if they were refering to removing the door handle or spraying the backside of the handle.

I'm still on the fence with painting the handles, if I did the ones on my 40th, I would do it black.

Funny enough, that brushed alluminum is good for when I'm in a tight spot near a wall, that stock handle takes damage unlike a painted door handle would lol.

Its not a pain, you can spray it as it normally lays and the only spot that would differ in color is when you open it a small .5x3 inch spot will remain silver or..... You can prop something in the middle when its open to retain it from collapsing closed and then they can spray then..

Its like 2 bolts to take off very easy to do... I did my 350Zs a couple different colors until color matching finally and it was so easy to take off!

I believe Simota1 has it on his red 370z with Amuse kit and it looks amazing!

Guess I'm gonna be the outcast here -- not feeling this at all.

To each his own, though!

Rather shave then paint

This will be my next mod. Great job guys!

I picked up my painted handles today from the body shop and the paint did not match. I'm bringing them back in the morning. They warned me about the color not matching perfectly, but this wasn't even close. I gave them my front splash guard to use for comparison.

What color is your car? The dealer matched my Gun Metallic paint perfectly.

The contrast between gun metallic or silver and brushed aluminum looks too sexy to mess with the doors. Those kind of mods are for people with black, white, red, and blue cars.
