I was the one who got his done. The handles really do take 10 mins or less to take off. Painter charged $45 to do them, had them back the next day. We did secide to let them sit for 2 extra days to make sure the paint was hard enough not to leave fingerprints in it from openeing the door. Looks sharp. Now alvin just needs to give me his so I can get them painted and I can put them on my car, along with my new painted headlights and taillights.

Thanks bro, it would look great on your car because you got a lot of black accents on it already do it!

Enjoy!! I am definately going to get a new set and go black!!! HOTTTT

I get that a lot... Its because I had a 2003 Redline Z in June 2003-Aug 2004 and then I traded it for my DB Coupe Enthusiest... Long story but it worked out well for me...

So I am somewhat of an elder in the Z community. I have been eyeing the Z since 01 at the LA auto show....

Sorry Alvin, didnt want to tell my life story just figured I would answer the mans question!! LOL

Very nice! I personally dont like high gloss black rims, but the touch with your door handles really sets it off.

I guess I'll be the first one to say that I don't like it that much honestly?
Just being true to my opinion that's all.

I admit they look better than I expected. I think some CF mirrors or mirror covers would go nicely with the handles and canards. Just don't overdo it and black out the rear lights too.

Very nice. I was surprised how good the black looked. Any ideas on what color would look best on my Solar Orange? Black? A Darker shade of metallic Orange possibly?
