NEW DESIGNZ on ebay has some nice chrome plated ones. I am thinking of getting some myself. They are advertised as being made in the US also.

There are several places that sell chrome *****, but I have yet to see anyone sell brushed/anodized aluminum *****. I would also love to see someone come out with brushed/anodized aluminum door handles -- not door handle trim pieces, but actual replacement metal interior door handles. Now that would be

I am the process of having my interior door handles chrome plated. I just started this effort. I plan to purchase used interior door handle assemblies, remove the door pull & send it off to Paulschrome .com
I think it should take about a month to complete this project & I will get back with you all with my results. FYI Jim

Have you thought of changing them out altogether? I swapped Lexus chrome handles, but you can fit pretty much anything there. The only complication is modifying the door panel neatly to cover the hole, but there are several ways to do that too.

I have some C5 Door Handles for Sale. What I did was took a set like this & sent them to Paul's Chrome & they chromed them for me.
I did not want to use my OE parts so I purchsed a used set. I recently sold my Vette & I still have my OE door Handels. I am asking $ 75 for the LH & RH set.
I have attached the before & after photos for you review. Paul' Chrome can plate any finish you want. Let Me know if your are instersted in purchasing my handle set.

Hmmm, chrome plating something that gets touched ALL the time in a car-think I'll keep mine black. And the plating on plastic is not known for long life either.
