Now you should black out the emblems, reflectors, headlights, wheels, tails, turns, and interior lights to match the scheme or not. LoL

Thanks for the pics with the windows up Tommy; I appreciate it. The 20% looks great on the sides; even makes me think of doing 20% all around instead of staggering with 5% & 20%.

No problem. yeah, I like the 20%. To me, 5% would almost be too dark. When I am in a dimly lit area at night, I usually roll my windows down so I can see behind me.

Thanks for posting these. Always curious what it would look like on a SB.

I saw a LS ZR with painted handles. It looked OK, but I'm not going to rush out and get mine done.

I truly think if your car wasn't black and you had Gloss Black wheels black handles would be ideal. I noticed a picture of a Daytona blue Z in a thread here recently and it looked very nice with the black handles and the black wheels. I am truly considering this for my ZR that is SS and I have Black wheels. Would really be complimented well if one had overlays imo.

In most cases, they install a remote controlled "Door Popper", however in the case of the black car I posted pictures of, you hit the remote control, roll the driver's windows down and open the door with the inside handle. In the event that the main battery ever died, there is a secondary motorcycle battery installed with a switch under the car.

BTW, this is not my car but another local Z person who has since sold it and bought a new black car...

Looks Great! Does the paint interfere with the handle mechanism in any way?? Does it have the same stock feel while opening?
