IMHO, when i see body colored handles on these cars, it looks like it went to Maaco and they forgot to tape them up

It all sounded fine until you said the lock. It would get scratched up pretty quick I would think. Or maybe I just have difficulties putting keys into holes.

blah black=better your car needs some contrast and that contrast is found in the accents. Without it your car is one boreing red blob

lol.. I think mine might be an exception

I've never been very fond of stock door hardware painted body color. I have to agree with t-topGuy

Ya I think that looks pretty ugly. You needs some contrast of colors. In my opinion red/black combo on anything looks awesome. But if you like how it looks. Then you did a great job! Congrats.

yeap... one of my friends has his camaro handles painted white with the rest of the car...


they did a GREAT job laying the paint on the car.... the handles are painted nice.....





but the overall effect is, it looks like someone forgot to mask off the handles and they got sprayed.

i donno about any other colors, but the Red, Blue, Silver, and Green cars need a lil contrast..

I dont really like them in red and green and stuff. I like these in white tho, this is 9T1Z's car. Personally id shave them or put diff handles on if i were modding them tho.
