door handles
 
Anyone done anything with them yet? Or seen any good photoshop with them completely removed? I was thinking the car might look great with no handles, but I'm not good with photoshop to test it out.

I actually like the handles without them there is no curve or accent with color.

There is really nothing to break up the monotony without them.

I just got mine painted body color on my Magnetic black Z. I think it looks great. With my wheels, the silver handles just stuck out like a sore thumb.

I agreee. My Z is Solid Red. But i have a matte black roof, wheels, front grille, and headlights. The handles look completely out of place

Hehe right after you posted that I searched "handles" and went through a few pages of results wondering what you saw that I wasn't, now I see hehe. My Z is silver and the handles are a different silver so I'm just looking at options.

My door handles are silver and what do you know my car is silver color matched for free! about the only color that has the advantage to have them blend in...

Thanks!

those in the picture are the widened 350Z track wheels, now 18x9.5 with 275/35-18s R888s all around. Street wheels are the Nismo S-tune 19s.

I have a member of the forum scheduled to have door handles bought and sent to us to have them wrapped in carbon fiber. No they wont be rubbing since we shave off the edges a mm so when we apply the carbon fiber fabric and several layers of resin over the top it brings the size back to its original measurements.

If he follows through I will post pics of the finished prototype. The door handles are pretty cheap. Just short of $120.
