+1, Im not a huge fan of the chrome door handles on the GS but to each his own. Right combination of accessories it might look nice

It looks great in pictures but I bought these and they didn't fit well and added a lot of bulkiness.

They look like they would compliment the chrome window surround, but are held on by sticky tape.
The two rear handles are missing their sensor cut-out like the front two - so it's a no from me too.

He's not the seller because I've bought from these exact chrome door handles and he's from Hong Kong, China. Quality is meh.

In my opinion, I like chrome. Just not when they put those 30 inch chrome plates on the Lexus wheels and think it's in style. (BTW, china stuff is totally meh.)
