Default Xpel stealth on the door handles

My car was ordered with gloss black door handles. They don't match the rest of the trim. Derek at Atlanta Protective Films just finished the ppf on my car. As part of it, he did xpel stealth on the door handles. Beyond the protection it will provide, the look is incredible.

Looks great! Another alternative: spec the handles as normal body color, and wrap them in matte black vinyl for the same look.

I wouldn't have ordered the handles in black. This car was already ordered when I took it over. Too late to change. Happy now though!

Very nice. I spec’d the black mirrors and handles but my SA wouldn’t let me for this exact reason - the gloss vs the matte finish. Glad I listened to him but I think you got the best of both worlds. Looks fantastic!

we need an app which posts to instagram, facebook porsche groups, and rennlist all at the same time. but for the sake of completeness, I'll repeat here that I think this will become the "must-do" mod.. looks fantastic and truly fixes that shiny black door handle issue. I would have gotten mine in black instead of body-color had i thought of this. nice one Sean.
