Default Chrome handles with a twist

We were at my bodyshop, about to install the chrome handles but started messing around with the chrome handles and stock handles. We came up with this:








I like them because they're different than just slapping the chrome ones on. I am going to run the chrome outter for a little bit. When I decide if I don't like them I'm going to run these. My initial idea were these anyways. This is how the factory should of done the handles




I still need to put my Mode Parfume spoiler on

My car looks up to yours as a role model. I love the kit and the wheels. Those handles look pretty cool too.

Very nice I was thinking of doing this myself. I like the chrome handle with the painted surround.

Absolutly insane.. Those handles look sick. Very classy.. That Mode Parfume kit is one of the hottests kits for our car. Excellent choice.
