For the most part they look pretty good, but it would really depend if you got chrome wheels, chrome accents, etc.

I think that the window trim looks like enough chrome. I love your wheels, I just think that the door handles would be too dstracting.

I think they look good........but everybody has a point here it seems it would take away from the car somewhat.

... again.

Woah, That photoshop looks REAL good. But again, just like Mcheddadi said... I WOULD NOT do it on the coupe. But on the sedan, your sedan at least... I think it might look pretty good.

^You have my thumbs up.

Wow, old post near the top.. but anyway:

I'm curious, do the old handles just pop off with a flathead?Can you post a closeup of the chrome handles you have installed?How have they been holding up in the Chicago weather boss?

I have a black 2.5 SL and i was thinking about the door handles as well. Those are not actually door handles though they are a 3m adhesive cover. They are still pretty sweet. I use to have some on my 1999 Tahoe. I couldnt decid between the door handles or the pillars. After seein yours i might go door handles now.

Actually these covers have 3M tape in the back and stick to the old handles.

It is still summer over here so I don't know how those will hold up in the winter time.

Hey Kuhan - nice on the chrome handles - looking to purchase a set also seeing that it looks great on a black sedan. Also - love the wheels - may i ask where you got those from?

Cheers.
