Looks great, but I think I like the shaved look better, now that I can see both.

Has anyone painted the handles of a PW yet? I might work on a PS chop in a bit.

kind of crappy, but here's a quick chop.

Not quite sure how I feel about color-matched handles, but many times when black or non-body-colored trim is painted body-color on various cars...it cheapens the look overall. For example, side-moulding on E36 M3s, the lower trim on GTRs, front-lip on Supras/RX-7s, etc. It makes the car look as if it just rolled out of Maaco.

Perhaps on black Zs painted door-handles look ok, but I'll wait to see more colors for final judgement.

Shaved this time, not painted.

Beautiful...

Now, how can we open the door? If we can stick a button (like the hatch) somewhere ... hmm

Maybe under the side mirror ?

It's been done for many decades using an aftermarket alarm and trunk release actuators. I'm sure there's a cleaner way to do it now-a-days.

Use the keyfob to roll down the window and open it from the inside?
