Only looks good on the ES and LS, but not the sportier Lexus line.

Chrome Door Handles - Yay or Nay?
It seems like the chrome door handles adds a touch of elegance on the ES and the LS (as well as many other luxury cars). But the IS and the GS don't have them. Do you guys think it look nice if added on the GS (like using chrome handle covers)?

I'm not a fan of chrome door handles but they look FANTASTIC on some 2GSs that are on the board.... On the 3GS it may be much more than a cosmetic swap tho because of the keyless entry and lock functions on the handle...

Only if you have chrome rims
I put no. But my car is silver and maybe its because i'm not use to chrome door handles or the fact that finger prints on the chrome bugs me. My friend said he ordered a set, but he has a dark color car (black.) I think on his car it will look really nice, he is going for a VIP look.
I guess its different for everyone, opinion wise. I can see where it would look great (dark colored cars.)

I think it'll look just fine with chrome handles because GS already has chrome window/grille surrounding trims. That said, if given a choice, I prefer black or dark chrome trim pieces instead.

Nay...Nay......Nay!
i think they would be maaaaaybe do-able if they werent covers over the stock handles. Direct replacements would be sweet, but waaay too expensive. Ive seen those chrome covers on a 3GS and it didnt look good cuz the lock button looked recessed. i could actually tell they were covers. i didnt like it.....it looked cheap. IMHO of coarse
