yup just finished the passenger side door and working on the drivers side. looks way better than the fake chrome

 

just had both of mine replaced for free, cuz they were peeling

 

I need to paint my door thingies black because they're flaking too

 

Looks good

 

yea mine are peeling off as well. i need to make an appointment for the dealer.

 

did you take them out and paint them? and ya they look good.

 

yeah mine peeling off as well thats.i painted them because my warrenty is up and wanted a change from the chrome

and yes i took them out i took some pics i will post later

taking them apart....easy. getting them back togethe......a GIANT pain in the ass

oh yeah also put this on

 

i hope your not serious about the STI

 

ha ha no i didnt put that on there my buddy who was helping me with this has an sti and he had that. i was checking out the thread of rice and figured that would be perfect for that

 

just finished painting the trim the same color pics added to first post

 

errr... idk... it looks... cheaper than the chrome imo... i painted my interior, but would nver think about the handles. but thts just my opinion.

looks like you did a good job painting them tho. just not my cup of tea.

 

lol but his chrome was seriously flaking off bad. and i saw it 6 months ago. looks good dvs

 

would have prob done the same thing if mine was flaking that bad.

 

ive had my car for 3years and not a single chip. what the hell are you guys doing to em to chip off?!

 

nothing it just starts to peel off at the seam. its not chipping its just peeling off

 

weird.......never heard of that happening. But that **** is gonna chip faster if painted. Do you think....

 

it might but its not the chipping its when it peels off it cut the people hands on the pass side. so i figured this will fix that and if it does its an easy fix i can do myself

here is a link with more people that have had that problemlink

 

ya that **** was bad. either way looks good now thats all that matters

 

I would prob just get new handles. Would be a pain to keep painting

 

Nice idea! It looks pretty good.

I took off my handles when I painted the door panels and now they are kinda loose. Not sure if the spring isn't on all the way but the handle freely moves like 1/3rd of the way. It's a little annoying.
