Ok.. the handles... reasons why I wanted to black them was I find the doors are pretty big and plain, needed something on the door to bring it together with the my two tone theme. However, I do agree with others that it might look cheap and reminds me of the older / lower end BMW.

So this is the trick / compromise that i did (notice I leave the end part of the handle in bodycolor). I think it meets what I want and it actually look kind of cool in real life with the different lighting. This is only black stickers and not painted yet. Let me know what do guys think?
