Shaved door handles
 
What do you all think if a 370z had shaved handles? I know a lot of ppl complain about it sticking out color wise from the rest of the car, so you think it would look sleek and nice without and handles at all?

I try to imagine what it would look like, and in my head it looks nice, but because I have no real photoshop skills I really don't know for sure.

If anyone could photoshop a 370z (gunmetal) without any handles and black rims that would be awesome!!!

even though it was cool on mini trucks and ghetto low riders i always liked the clean look shaved door handles creates. if the mechanism for opening the door can be a bit more technical than the rusty ol' spring that 'pops' the door open i would be very interested in this!

I think it could look good, but I am going to do a color match on my handles, with PG I am hoping for good results.

Color matching = yes
Shaved....eh, yes, it'd look nice, but nightmare to get to work nicely.

Someone PChopped GT-R handles, those would be hilariously cool. For all of...15 minutes..

Looks amazing!

I'm in the minority I guess...I LIKE the door handles. But only on cars that have silver rims. Black rims and the silver handles just don't work....................................

Yep, no if you could powder coat the door handles black to match the wheels, that might look good too

Can you take a pic from further back so we can see the overall effect? From the pic it loks like a nice paint job...what paint did you use, did you prime first etc etc :tiphat:

body shop painted them for me, so its top notch paint, but I can't remember what brand they use.

Door handles and tail lights cost me about 350, including removal and reinstallation, but I get a lot of stuff done at this shop, and refer everyone I can to them.

^ Is that you standing next to you, or someone wearing like you standing next to you :rofl2:

Nice paint job :tup:

I was thinking of getting Bronze wheels. but the white car, silver door handles, and Bronze wont look nice.

slick or painted door handle will be nice.

It is the scariest Z I've ever seen. That's a compliment, btw. :tiphat:
