One of the reasons that I bought the Z was the uniqueness of the door handles. I like them unmodified

Its your car - you probably wouldn't want a black roadster either

it looks decent, i personally think it would look much better if the whole handle was black though opposed to just the middle of it.

well the door handles are just an expieriment with easily removable paint and only the driver door painted, I just want to get an idea if my taste is screwed heh..

i would put more pics but it wont let me load larger than about 190k!
i had to chop up that pic to get it to fit

thanks for your thoughts

and YES id love a black roadster.!!

prior i had a CS 5AT and a black track 6mt
no roadster (Yet) heh

Hmmm…. I see what you were doing. Mirroring the black and brushed aluminum of the side Z emblem which is also mirrored by your beautiful wheels but I have to say the door handles just don’t work for me.

I do like Kat's greyed handles though.

But who cares what I think, as long as you like it.

Not a bad look but have you thought of doing the whole apparatus? I'm thinking I will powdercoat the exterior of the whole assembly in body color. Will post pics after I get it done.

Paint the whole thing to match the car if you're going to do it. I plan on doing mine eventually.

I think it looks great how you did it. I would like to see a carbon fiber door handle. Anyone know if these exist, or have pics?

I think it looks better than the stock silver colored ones with your black wheels. Black + blue is already alot of color and then you throw the silver door handles in there its like 3's a crowd. I will probably do this to mine one day.

I like it, and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to get me to say that. You know what also looks good black? That bump under the grill in the front of the car. If I repaint the front plastic (due to chips) I'm going to do that.

If I'm not mistaken, you can't powder coat them since they are plastic.
