Re: chrome door handles... yay or nay??

my suggestion would be to work on other aspects of the car before doing something like that.

Re: chrome door handles... yay or nay??

I don't know about the chrome handle VIP style. This has got to grow on me. I've always thought that chrome handles look too "bling, dub spinners" and now VIP style says its a good thing...like i said, It'll have to grow on me. If that's what you like I'd say go for it.

Re: chrome door handles... yay or nay??

I've had chrome handles for a very long time now.. Since we put this car together. I thought I would hate it, but it grew on me very quickly. Just as long as the chrome isn't overdone IMO it will be fine.

Get the handles I think they look better then the cover / overlays. For some cars there is no choice of the two. The GS has a black chrome ones that doesnt cost too much more then the regular chrome ones.

LQQK very very nice....... only made for a several style cars LS - GS - SC 430 & ES - RX 330

Re: chrome door handles... yay or nay??

They look great on any VIP car that has some deep dishes. IMO, if you're still on the stockers, you should wait on the chromy accessories...

good advice, many people nickel and dime themselves out of getting what they really want(wheels). I know I do that sometimes. But also alot of VIP cars come stock with lots of chrome.

Re: chrome door handles... yay or nay??

chrome door handles go very well with luxury cars as long as the car already has chrome trimmings, it matches to the oem chrome trimmings on the bumper-grille-moldings (lexus LS-GS-infiniti Q45-acura RL). It really depends on the rest of the car.

now throwing the chrome door handles on a civic - corolla is a different story, it would look tacky.

Re: chrome door handles... yay or nay??

I like them... Question is... are they readily available? Seems to be I remember seeing chrome door handles available in magazines like LOWRIDER. Id like to get them for my Impala once my black trim is painted body color. (Silver)

I also think its killer to replace the drivers door handle with the lock in it, with the drivers side rear door handle with no lock. All smooth! Just like the passenger side! Just use your remote lock to get in...

From what i've gathered there are no metal chrome handles. The ones you see in pics of japanese VIP car's are ABS overlays.
