Default Decided to do it. Black outer door handles.
Powder coated and ceramic coated outer door handles. Just to be different.

I think it looks pretty good. Not the norm, but accentuates the look of the other components of the car.

I think you nailed the look. And some of us like it too. Nice work.

I like em! It's always cool seeing Vettes customized to the owners liking. My only critique, would be maybe trying to paint the locks to match.

The car looks sweet. Love the tops!

Did the car locks. To be honest, I didn't like it so put new ones back on.

I like the handles and the locks matching. Nice work!

Custom cars are part of the DNA of the car culture!

I like it. Get rid of the rest of the chrome, too!

You can start with the rocker panels.
