Interesting observation
After I got my 02 Coupe, I noticed that the door handles are identical to those on our 04 Impala SS.
Also, the bottom color of my two-tone Silverado seems to be very close to the Pewter on my Corvette. On the truck it's called "Bronzemist Metallic."
Can you tell I"m bored?

Door handles are actually a design from the old Auroras!

More trivial info, the mold for that handle was made by my buddy in Detroit at "Dynamic Mold", he races a 7 sec 67 Camaro

Interesting! You guys really know your cars!
So my wife and I have this arguement. I say her Impala has Corvette door handles and she says my Corvette has Impala door handles!

Wow, more semi-useless information to clutter my brain, I've learned more (useful to useless) information of this forum than I did the entire time I've been at college (2 years so far)

Never paid attention, but then I do not own those other vehicles to compare them too and I am happy with my door handles
