Thats great taste. Its funny I mentioned this same combo of having only the handle itself chrome while keeping outer part body color a few weeks ago in a thread about the chrome handles and people laughed at me..Thinking outside the box, I love it. great minds think alike....

We swapped the handles with the stock ones. If you paint them, you might run into rubbing issues

I'm feeling the second ones where only the handle itself is chrome, those are the ones I would like to put on my car.

I love that look! Very original, and the best I've seen That look flows quite well with the chrome bezel around the shifter of the 01-05 Gs's. Very elegant and classy!

Such a simple idea and it looks really good. I can't believe no one had done this before.

I'm really love the way it looks Jacob

Wow!! Definitely a head turner. Can't believe no one else thought of this too. It turned out spectacular. I like the chrome surround like you have it now, rather than just the chrome handle part. The chrome surround really stands out and looks classy and elegant. The chrome handle would just be a smaller version of the full chrome, still would look good, but not as nice as what you are rockin now!!!

Hey Jacob,

Beautifully and tastefully done sir! Wondered two things:

1) What size wheels and offset are you running?
2) What suspension are you running?

The stance is probably the best I have seen as far as looking good and being able to be driven daily. Thanks!

Your car looks sensational!

What body kit is on your car? Looks awesome! Did the front bumper come with those round fogs too?

Don't worry about what others like, just "do you". Mod for you, not for others. Be creative, and trust your instincts. If you don't like it, you can always reverse it.
