I'm thinking of getting the chrome handle covers like what sammyboy got on his coupe, but I'm curious as to what they'd look like on my red coupe...so this is a request to mcheddadi to photoshop a photo of my car to see what it'd look like with them on.



pls can you help, photoshop god?

and for those that are interested, below is the link to the chrome handle covers I'm looking at buying. Only $6.99, but the thing that kills is the $15 shipping, effectively tripling its price!

+1 to the +1

It might look nice if there was something else to bring it together...but I think if you went with the Chrome Pillars that would be TO much.

I went to a local Paint shop and they quoted me $100.00 per wheel...i have black rims with a chrome lip (tuner rim).

i was thinking about having the chrome painted BLUE! (that RED dangeris look) the guy said "no problem, but on the outer edge of the lip, the blue paint would probably get scraped off when i get new tires installed!"

to avoid that i need to look into powder coating instead of spray paint...im not sure but isnt that an arm and a leg?

should i take a picture of my coupe and have MCHEDDADI photoshop the rims for me 1st??

I don't think you should get the door handles.They look a bit tacky on red.

Just my opinion though$25 isn't muchBut I'd rather get some interior LEDs

IMO it's not that it will look tacky on red. It looks tacky to add chrome door handles when there is no other chrome on the car sides. It might make more sense the car had "chrome" window surrounds.

Often it also looks cheap to add purely cosmetic bling, more so on a base level car. (plus your being cheap by not wanting too pay $25 for your cheap door handles)

Also consider this - there was a time when body color painted would have been an upgrade from black plastic door handles and trim. I think more vehicles are coming like this now. In other words - your door handles are fine as is. Look at a Porsche or other high end sports car and see how much chrome there ISNT.

In the end you have to do what makes you happy - its your money and your car. Good Luck.

if you're going to get the chrom door handles, you should add more chrome to compliment it, like chrome pillars and mirror covers. maybe even a chrom overlay on your XM radio reciever, and get some chrome rims. then get some chrome on your chrome and you'll be set
