Color matched door handles... what do you think?
#4
The only way to go. They should have come that way from the factory in the first place. I replaced the door handles, rear spoiler and license plate frame with body color parts on my M-Yellow coupe as soon as the parts were available.

Real nice! I am not much into mods in general, but that is one mod I plan to do. Why have an ugly black spot (handle) on the side of your car when you don't have to. The color matched handles really clean up the car. Hey, you need to update your avatar now! I don't wanna see that black door handle anymore!

I was also considering the color matched dash pieces. I am not real happy with the factory silver ones. Just not sure I want to hassel with the installation. Any opinions?

they look really good.
For now I think I'm with the Professor on this one - I like the black pieces, especially since they give my son somewhere to wipe his peanut butter , or pizza grease , when he's entering the car. When he's 18 I'll get color matched pieces. But he's only 2 now.
you'll have to be careful about scratching those, but they do look NICE !

good match on color....I have LMB....originally ordered LMB handles, but they were too dark, sent 'em back and got Machine Silver ones, and they look sweet on the LMB.

The simple way to get the color matched door handles is to contact Lloyd at Brite ideas. He markets both the door handles and painted third brake light (besides being body color it is much brighter than the factory one). More importantly his prices are fair and he is great to work with. I have his door handles and third light on my Victory Red coupe and am very happy with the quality and ease of instalation . Next will probably be some tastefull fender guards.

I kinda like the factory handle...the different color gives me something to aim at when I'm staggering out of the bar
