Had my door handles painted magnetic black to match. what do you guys think?

 

I like stock look better.

 

I think it looks good. You should post up some pics from a little closer though.

 

Looks great

 

maybe if you paint the OEM wheels black, it may look better

 

Nice pic, I like the painted door handles....

I've got an 06 MB Enthusiast and was going to get the windows tinted next weekend. Probably 20% on the sides and 5% in the back....... what % tints are on your windows (just to give me an idea)

Thanks

 

turn them back to stock please, you lost one charm feature of owning a Z33

 

You know, seeing that makes me realize how much the brushed aluminum handles adds to the Z. I always thought they were a bit funky, but now I see the light. Thanks!

 

+1. The door handles contribute a lot to the Z's unique character. I don't think it looks all that bad - it sure looks better than the guy that shaved them.

 

Jeff91ta, I have 20% all around. I will post some pics today with the windows up so you can see how it looks. I still have the silver handles, so if I want to change, then I can just swap them. I was thinking of powdercoating the wheels black sometime this summer.

 

here is a little closer shot, and you can see the 20% tint.

 

That looks fantastic! I've been thinkin about doin this. How much did it cost to have this done? Looks great on black especially.

 

Wait, there was a guy who shaved the handles? Do you know where I could see so pics of this?

 

I'm torn on this mod. I think it looks really cool with the black, but I also love the stock handles too. That would be a tough choice for me to make.

 

I think that with the design of the door handles, they look better unpainted. If they were flush handles like most other cars have, then yes it would look odd to have brushed aluminum handles on a black car. But as it stands now, I'd have to say leave them unpainted.

 

I'm leaving mine stock but thanks for posting pics! I was thinking about doing the same thing.

 

Total for the extra handles, and painting came out to about $230. I think the handles do look good on other colors, but they stand out too much on black. Same goes for the clear markers. Other cars you don't tend to notice the amber as much as you do on black.

 

damn 230 for jus the handles. how much to paint?

 

no, that was handles, and paint. i think the handles were 120.

 

it doesnt look that bad painted, only 350z owners or enthusiasts will know u painted it since it still has a factory look... but i still like the stock look better
