Default I LOVE THEM! (Well, on PG cars).

On the Platinum Graphite cars (like mine), the lighter silver handles contrast really well with the darker grey of the paint while simultaneously pulling in the color of the wheels.

If you change the color of the wheels, then yeah, it won't work as well. I'm sticking with stock-colored silver wheels though as they compliment the car (which is one of the criteria for picking a wheel for me).

I hear you on that, I'm looking for a MB Z with Gloss Black rims w. a Chrome Lip, so I dunno how the matte grey handles are gonna work, I always thought of them as an eyesore from the 350, but thats just me...

I posted another thread with my finished painted door handles. THey are not that hard to take off. I wrote how you can do it. on it as well. But then again if you got to ask how to take it off then i don't think you should really be doing it. All door handles are pretty much the same. If you've taken one off then you can do them all especially if you ever replaced a honda one.
