If you've taken one off then you can do them all especially if you ever replaced a honda one.

NE!!! :tup: (nicely executed)

I hate it, I'd like to match the magnetic black.
Has anyone done it themselves?(mb z)

yeah...just reaching for a post?

I'd hate them too if they were silver. Mine are this nice brushed aluminum :rolleyes:

I don't really mind the handles. I think the rest of the car keeps attention away from them.

Any DIY on how to do the door handles black?

I took the handles off myself and took them over to a local body repair shop. They color matched them for $100 and i put them back on myself. Total night and day difference for the magnetic black Z....the silver was like an eyesore.

That looks GREAT!! :tup:

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:
