I'm still deciding if I'm gonna color-match my handles when I get mine.

Looks good.

How'd you do the door handles? Paint? They look awesome! What a classy NOT overkill clean look. You don't see that too often...simply beautiful

Mike 07-24-2009 09:12 PM

thanks, the body shop removed, prepped, paint matched and reinstalled them. I've always been an understated kind of mod guy. Doesn't win shows, but I love my looks, and thats what matters most.

Looks great

The door handle makes a big difference. The red caught my eye, but it's the handle that makes it look so good!jmo

Nissan should color the handle, the color of the car.

did you choose between doing the handles in black or doing the handles in the same red? i wonder how that would have looked.

The smoked taillights and the colormatched handles look awsome on the black. I'm not so sure about other colors. I wasn't too crazy about the way it turned out on the guy that did the yellow ones. You have a nice batmobile thing going on there. I really like it.

Could have done them the same, but the wheels and caliper coatings aren't necessarily permanent, since I know a powdercoater ;). The handles though, won't be changed again.

How resistant to dings/scratches/ wash/waxings are the handles... ie how long before we can start to see the paint coming off?

chubbs 07-30-2009 12:42 AM

Like I said on your other thread - WOW :cool:

it might get finger nail scratches like any other factory painted handles, but the paint isn't going to flake off or anything.

Terrible. It would have been more gaudy and tacky than the silver did once he changed to black wheels.

This is way too much black for me and the car gets lost with the black wheels and dark-but-not-really-black tails. The handles do look really good though regardless of the wheels and tails. I'm a fan of the silver handles with the way they match the stock wheels, but this is a clean approach that would look good on a stock car or a modified one. I also agree that the yellow car with the yellow handles doesn't look as good, but that is because the handle on that car sticks out visually much more than this one.

I didnt see the yellow ones, have a link?

OP that looks very clean, nice choice. Like someone else said, it looked shaved the first time I looked at it.
