Personally I like the look... but I wouldnt do black unless you do a black chrome. You dont want them to look like black plastic handles from a far. You can color match them to the body as well. I did that with mine makes them blend in a bit more. Just my 2 cents....

The Z handles are so unique. everyoen comments about it. you are taking away one of the primary features about it.

I think it looks ok. My buddy's got a G with shaved handles, he opens em via remote, pretty cool. I've been thinking that the gtr door handles on the z would look pretty slick. Maybe someone can photoshop a picture of that.

Keep the handles they look good on the car. If you do anything try and paint them either the color of the car or a color that accents well.

I personally like the way it looks with the shaved handles. to those of you who have done this, what kind of problems did you encounter with it? is it worth the look to deal with them?
