Default Chrome Door Handles???

Do you guys think that it would look good or bad. They have chrome ones on some nicer cars like Escalades and Navigators... I think for it to look good you would have to have a few more thing chrome right?

probably 500+ because they would have to bondo it and repaint the sides of the car to match.... I want to do it though and might eventually.

The chrome handles wouldn't be such a bad idea if there where other chrome accents to play off of.

But tC just have the flat black...it would be to much attention to something so ordinary...I say shave those bad boyz off!!

I like them klean shav'n anyway...

It does look good...but in order to really pull of the look...you need to add the chrome trim all along the window sill.

The handles do play off the chrome wheels well though.

Just do whatever you want man......GOSH! hahah...

Very nice box btw.

Wow! The wheels are too much chrome!

It's a good looking box though. Too "blinged" up for my taste. I'm more for simple chrome accents

When your battery is dead in your remote start... or the power lock solenoid dies, or the battery in the car is dead... you will be using the keyholes.... not such a duuhhh feature to have

If you carry a replacement for the remote battery on you (most people dont), or if you carry both remotes on you (bad idea).... but if the battery in the car is completely dead, you will need to get under the hood...... if they were shaved I would reccomend a mechanical workaround hidden somewhere under the car just in case... I know people with shaved door handles and locks... and they all have some other way in.... problem is that if someone knows about it... you are screwed... it looks nice to have them shaved, but I will leave them on my car.
