Gosh it's amazing how good this car looks, even better with just a few mods!!! I absolutely love those door handles; I'm assuming you got them from L-tuned?

I think the chrome door handles stands out nicely. nicely modded, very sleek. I guess this is the new batmobile huh?

I like the black door handles with the window wind shields and the chrome ones with out it. Without the window windshild the chrome around the windows stand out more and match the chrome door handles.

thanks guys. i like the chrome door handles. as you can see the side wind visors are not the l-tuned ones... they're just cheap ebay ones... the l-tuned ones if you notice you could see the chrome trim on the top portion of the car. Mine you can't. being that it is blocking the chrome trim i think the chrome door handles stand out nicely. Not too much chrome and not too plain. I dunno... i like it but i'll think about removing it

about the chrome handle bars... i think people should know.... when you buy them from l-tuned they DO NOT cover the whole door handle. I thought they did. Not alot of people had them and the ones that did i pmed but never got back to me. They are simply plastic "chrome looking" covers that just go over the middle of the door handle held on by 3M tape.... with a cut out for the lock button. looks nice but not worth 250 after shipping for 4 IMO. if i could do it again i would have just went to an arts and crafts store and looked for some chrome looking sticker paper and done the same thing myself for probably 5 bucks.

Gosh it's amazing how good this car looks, even better with just a few mods!!! I absolutely love those door handles; I'm assuming you got them from L-tuned?
yeah they're the l-tuned ones

did you just paint those calipers or did you buy new red ones?
just took my wheels off and painted them... with the brush not the spray looks better that way.

Another vote to un-mod the door handles. But I love the 5 spoke wheel on this car.
