wide Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 hi all, ive got a kuro gt just de-badged the front & back & got rid of the indicators & z badges for the 370z z repeators all very subtle changes, now i'm thinking i should have painted the door handles at the same time. so my question is should they stay silver or go black, im leaning towards black, think it will look more stealthier. my alloys are a dark bronze. what do you lot think???

Husky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If you are going for the stealth look, having black door handles make a huge difference on all the cars I have seen with them and the owners always seem happy with the results. If that's your thing I say go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Do them gloss. I had mine done in matte black & they didn't hold up to the winter & have now faded & flaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
