Default Has Anyone Changed Their Door Handles To Silver?

I know the LS and other models have the same door handles as the IS, but they are chrome.

Has anyone changed their door handles? Can this be done?!

All I know some people have chrome handles, here's an example.

Here's a pic:

i like it but it still shows too much of the front side of the door handle. it could at least cover the whole front. i wouldnt pay for those. i want chrome door handles not a chrome strip.

I am not a fan of the Chrome handles, but if you are going for it, I agree with Greg0723, get the Handle and not the strip.
