chroming door handles?

It doesn't look bad, I like it. I would like to see the interior of the handle chrome too, but it still looks nice. Jeff, its your car. Do what you want to it.

Thanks; what I got was quintessentially the one that DrLove pointed out... I wanted to send the whole thing (plus a few other pieces of internal/external trimwork) to a chrome plating facility a couple of years ago, but 1. I'd be short a door handle or 2 for a while, and 2. My budget got tighter over the years.

If you do get it off eBay, you might want to file the edges a bit since the edges were kinda sharp on mine; also make sure to align it properly or it'll snag once in a while.

^^ I like that personally. But then again, all mods are subjective now, aren't they? ;)

This is going to end up like all those "should I buy these rims?" threads! :roll:
