Paint Matched Door Handles

Just got mine done at a local shop, figured I would post for those who are on the fence about doing theirs. Looks 100% better IMO.

They almost look like gunmetal in the pictures, it looks very nice though! I kind of like the way they are the matte metallic finish stock in terms of contrast against lighter colors but they visually stick out a lot more on Mag black Zs.

That looks awesome! Did you bring in your car or remove the door handles? Very well done IMO

Got mine done in December. Definitely worth the cost - approx $150. Left the car at Baker Tuning for my Nismo bumper/Tanabe spring/spacer install.

Painted door handles look good but I also like the brushed aluminum look.
