Although once you have them you'll probably barely notice them particularly on Carmine

I like them when you spec the car with other black accents like you both did.

Went with black handles...




But this will be my final result, so I think it goes... Should look good zipping around Sebring/Road Atlanta.

Growing up, the cars I first started driving in the early 90's all had black door handles and black side mirrors on the lowest trim levels. Hondas, Toyotas, Domestics, etc. The lowest one or two trims had black parts all over the car. Upper trims had body colored parts.

Maybe it's just residual feelings from that era, but to me whenever I see black bits like this, that's what I think of. It looks cheap and economy to me.

Looks good. Looks even better with more livery as depicted above.

IMO, on ilario's new ride these look good... something different, and def not as horrendous as some would have you think. It's all subjective.

good find!

not for me. it just has a lot going on.

I think its the black winglet ends and the front bumper scoops. that really starts the thought process of black handles, wheels, side mirrors etc..yeeesh

I agree, it does detract from the less is more concept.
Time for a rethink on my part as well. I just don't fancy putting in another change to my order.

I would never take your car. You enjoy it to much. Besides at this point you "need"
A GT car 🚗 more than I do. If you are not careful those Smokies guys might not invite you back
