Who Hates the Silver Handles?

I use my shirt to open the door. During warm days, I leave the window open and reach into the car to open the door. No joke. Uses less of the universe's energy than teleporting.

Polishes at the same time it's preventing fingerprints!

carbon fiber overlays are available online, i forget who makes them. i also hate the door handles, chrome would at least look good. wish they had racing stripe choices and colors like the camero. Nissan makes a great car but totally lacks imagination when it come to after market cosmetics for the z. i would love to have a spoiler on my roadster from the factory, not even an option as a dealer installed item.

Chrome, in my opinion, would look worse. Some time ago, there was a massive photoshop thread concerning the door handles, even some photoshops where the Z had GTR-esque door handles. Color matched, chrome, style change, carbon fiber, matte black, etc. etc... to each their own. Many have left it stock, while a lot of people went with colormatching or carbon fiber.

It's not an easy mod, but it's worth the effort for sure.

Looks great Telephone!

Black handles FTW! I couldn't stand the silver ones..

those look GOOD! I am thinking about doing something similar. My Z is gun metal. Thinking about color matching them or going flat black.

I hate that they attract fingerprints like crazy, but I love the silver handles, nice touch to me!
