They are just that color...I noticed that on mine also when I picked it up. The finish is just different inside the handle.

I had this problem in my 350Z. I bought a metal polisher. I'll see if it'll work or no next week.

Are the handles actually metal and if so are they clear coated (which produces the yellow usually) and... and if they are clear coated isn't metal polish gonna affect the clear coat?

I just assumed mine were gold plated - just really thin

they are plastic!!!! dont use a power buffer on them, you are going to be very sad when you see the white plastic and your paint is gone.

I wonder what it'd cost for "real" metal ones?

You know, ones that could be nickle, gold, or chrome plated...or polished stainless or whatever...
