Default 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.

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... 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.

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

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.

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.

Partial black handle?

Please someone help me make this larger? My photo bucket is toast.

Thank you.
