Try them out, I'm not sure if they're correct or not. Could even hit up SiNnZzzzZ and see if he still has some.

I've thought about getting the chrome handles, but I'm still unsure how I feel about them. I'd have to get the matching Rumion rear garnish, along with the other garnish that goes around the rest of the license plate bucket. I think it's the Modellista one.

No offense, I just didn't know now many 'n's' and how many 'z's'. So I just added a couple extra for good measure.

personally, i'm a little surprised at the cost of the handles. i might just keep my eyes peeled for a cheaper set. i thought it would be around $150 tops.

Well, driving aroung today I kept my eyes pealed on Lexus and Toyota door handles. I think I found a winner, the 6 cyl Venza handles. They are body color with a chrome strip.

Anyone know the going price for these door handles? They'd look pretty sweet on a tC.

Take one for the team and just buy the set off of Ebay. If they're a direct swap, I'll be #2 to try them out...

Sweet... You just made the ALL Star Team. How'd the install go? Give us a "super" review please? Fit? Quality?

install was a breeze. literally a straight swap. take the old ones off, transfer the lock over to the new handles, put everything back together and enjoy. total no brainer.

fit is oem and quality is oem. this id definitely a factory part. handles are not a solid hunk of chrome though. it's the same material as the one that comes on the car, just shiny and sexy.

i'm hard to please but i am totally satisfied with my purchase. i say go for it. though get ready to start wiping fingerprints off the handles!

A+ for the review, but an overall C grade for lack of pics.

Honestly, thanks man. I'm going to order these soon after reading your review. BTW, what other chrome pieces did you get? Mirror caps? Rear garnish? Just wondering if you bought them all at the same time for a good deal...

pics are tough for me since i have no camera.

and i really want to order the rear garnish and mirrors, but i'm still on the fence about it. my car is white and too much chrome looks a little funny on white cars. especially with some future plans i have in mind, i'm not sure it'll flow.

if it was black i'd go all out. black with chrome accents is teh sex.
