Post Chrome Door Handles on the IS? Yes or No?


Just picked up a new 07 is250 and walking around at the lexus dealership I was looking at the 430's and noticed the chrome door handles...

I have an all black car with 15%tint driver\pass and 5%tint on the back windows... and a deep sun bar.... so keeping with the "mafia look"... has anyone changed to chrome door handles on an is250? If so... any pics... ?

Thanks!

They look fantastic... But a little bit pricey for what they are.

I agree; I really want them but at least the LX-Sport ones are just way too expensive for what are essentially plastic caps. It's any wonder no other company has come out with cheaper ones.

If you are going for the chrome look; wheels, pillars, etc. the chrome handles look good. But the IS is more of a performance image vehicle, so I'm not too keen on them myself.

If you prefer the look, go for it. Im sure youll love how it turns out, just not all of us are a fan of chrome, including me.
