Aluminum trim on the door handles

I just bought an 03 G35 Coupe and I noticed on pretty much all the G35s I drove the grab handle in the interior was all scratched up on the door. Where can I get replacements for these and how much are they?

03-04 finish are not that great. If you don't want to keep replacing them every year because of scratches, I'd spend one time and upgrade all to CF.

I'm new, so I'm wondering if there's a preferred vendor around here for getting good prices on Infiniti parts?

mine look way better color-matched than fake CF... Now if it were real carbon, that would look sick

I have an have you ever seen C/F overlays installed on the door pulls
inside a G35 Mantis? For being a Noob you're very quick with an opinion you
have yet to see! I have them installed on my coupe with charcoal interior
and they don't look azz (whatever that means) they look nice and I don't
have issues with scratches. That is what this post is about....scratches.

what does a noob have anything to do with taste? and this is my opinion and yes, I have seen the CF kits (overlays) for the G35.. I was looking into them when my driver side door handle was scratched.

Looks tacky and out of place. So I just paid 30 bucks for a new aluminum cover.

Do you have some interior shots of your kit installed? Please post them.
