i thought about painting them to match. but longevity becomes and issue. with the oils on your hand i am sure the paint would either fade or scratch due to dirt from everyday driving. not to mention the door handles are unique to the Z so why not show them off. It would match great with my chrome rims.

1. Open your door
2. Remove the 2 plastic rubber pieces right behind the door handles
3. Use a 10mm long socket to remove the 2 bolts behind the rubber pieces (be careful not to let the bolts drop down into the door or you'll be really pissed taking off the whole door to find it.
4. Slide the door handles out
5. To re-install just do the same thing but reserve the instruction.

i think it would match my chrome wheels, as well as really bring out the door handles which are unique on the Z. i have looked everywhere and cant find anybody.
