Color match your door handles, it looks way better IMO, take a look at my ride.

Looks good man!
What did you use to color match? Did you paint or tape it?

Hmm, i kinda like it better with the chrome handles.


What about rear mt Fuji emblem? Mine is debaged but the chrome emblem sticks out too much. Anyone got a "black chrome" mt Fuji?? Not completely black, but darkened slightly like the 05-06 grill is?

I agree with the chrome handles...it works on his car cause his rims are black.

That mt. fuji you speak of would be perfect.

I think so too. I don't want to experiment on mine, so i think i'll go pick up another and some black translucent paint and give it a shot. I just want it a little bit blacked out..but still have shine

OH YEAH! you can do that at work!
YES, please do. I'm sure you'll have 2 customers right off the bat if successful.

I already know how your paintwork skills are, I approve!

I applied flat black vinyl on the hadles and in addition I color matched mt. fuji and debadged the rest, oh and the rims are not gunmetal but a weird shade of dark purple (powdercoat), they look black from afar and when dirty.
