I voted no but changed my mind. What if you could paint the handles to match the color found on the 40th anni wheels or something slightly darker?

That's an option. I just now realized that I failed to mention I plan to paint both the front(fang area) and rear bumper(Between the tail pipes) flat black if that matters. I think It would go well and pull everything to together.
