How long from removal to reinstallation were you looking at? I'd like to do this, but with my car as my DD I can't be without the handles for an extended period of time.

I had mine rattle can painted originally but that is chipping off, so I'd like to get them redone professionally. I wonder what the cost would be to strip/prime/paint/clear them to look as good as those ^^^ do... :icon08:

I think it was like a day or two....just depends on the place you take it and how busy they are.

Send me yours and then I'll send you mine, then you can get them done and keep those. :tup: Like a core swap system! :bowrofl: :rolleyes:

Has anyone color matched their door handles to Gun Metallic?

bdavis89 06-06-2012 06:19 AM

I'm sorry guys, but the color matched door handles look like crap. One look and you know they're supposed to be a different color from the body, otherwise they'd be a normal looking handle. Just my :twocents:

I would like to see those painted handles, but a pic further away from the car...?

I couldn't imagine this would look good on a Solid Red.

Silver FTW... stop rubbing your greasy-*** fingers all over the handles.

twinturbonet 06-06-2012 12:51 PM

I too hate the handles. Theres a guy on here that had his painted, Im waiting to hear from him on whether he did a paint booth or what but I can def let you know.

I use my shirt to open the door. During warm days, I leave the window open and reach into the car to open the door. No joke. Uses less of the universe's energy than teleporting.

Polishes at the same time it's preventing fingerprints!

carbon fiber overlays are available online, i forget who makes them. i also hate the door handles, chrome would at least look good. wish they had racing stripe choices and colors like the camero. Nissan makes a great car but totally lacks imagination when it come to after market cosmetics for the z. i would love to have a spoiler on my roadster from the factory, not even an option as a dealer installed item.

Chrome, in my opinion, would look worse. Some time ago, there was a massive photoshop thread concerning the door handles, even some photoshops where the Z had GTR-esque door handles. Color matched, chrome, style change, carbon fiber, matte black, etc. etc... to each their own. Many have left it stock, while a lot of people went with colormatching or carbon fiber.

It's not an easy mod, but it's worth the effort for sure.

Black handles FTW! I couldn't stand the silver ones..

PetePlays 07-08-2012 05:00 PM

those look GOOD! I am thinking about doing something similar. My Z is gun metal. Thinking about color matching them or going flat black.

Z-Girl 12 07-08-2012 05:58 PM

I hate that they attract fingerprints like crazy, but I love the silver handles, nice touch to me!
