Black Handles: Like or No-like ?
 
Me & my Friend plastic coated my door handles. I just didn't really like the fact that whenever I saw a 370Z on the road or looked at mine, the 1st thing that caught my attention was the bright door handles. I think it looks better IMO, and after (6) months no problems with them at all. http://www.the370z.com/members/kille...ck-handles.jpg

I dig it on the black car... color matched is my fav. The door handles are one of my least favorite things about this car.

Little closer view... http://www.the370z.com/members/kille...-handles-2.png I think the silver colored handles look great on certain colors of the Z, like white and grey (maybe red), but too much contrast on the black. Same as the black handles probably wouldn't look the best on a white Z ...

Ummm don’t know. I personally like the industrial look of the stock silver door handles. I always found them quite unique. The black sort of makes them look cheap IMHO.

I like the black handles. Personally I think the silver looks a bit cheap.

Like the black....Just not in plastic dip. Get it painted to color match or get a carbon fiber cover.

It really comes down to your personal style

:iagree:

I much prefer paint matched handles. The silver just sticks out way too much on most colors.

Great, now you have me thinking about my 2018 Passion Red. Black rims, metal door handles, and paint match side mirrors. I'm trying to picture, Maybe carbon fiber Mirror covers.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3dd5161d29.jpg

Black and white? Not a "must do right away" mod for me but eventually got it done. It is an Evo-R CF skin btw.

Much appreciated Trips!

I kinda like the black handles. Especially in matte or pebble finish.
Anyone ever do they in a black wrinkle finish?
The major design flaw IMO is the size of the door handle assembly on the 370Z.
Like some other areas on the Z34 (rear license plate bumper recess),it is too big.
The doing the handles in carbon is a excellent idea. Adding some subtle carbon
touches like on the B-pillars really updates the car .

Hilariously hyperbolic.

Those look awesome. I still have the silver handles.... My least favorite thing on my Z. I'm going to have to have mine painted.

gotta paint match, easy for black though

TriNismo 01-20-2018 05:54 PM

I think the silver is unique to our Zs, and look best matched with silver wheels and silver accents on side markers and headlights. Once you change wheels or mod your headlights then the silver seems out of place IMO
