GLE to SE conversion?

Can i change my door handles to match the paint? I hate the chrome handles and door trims. Where can I get new door trims and handles? Has anyone done it before? If it's not too expensive, then I would definitely do it. Thanks.

Probably need to have them painted.

www.car-part.com might have them for your color, but not macthed to your year.

i sanded and spraypainted my chrome grill and it's in great shape besides two stone chips. I doubt any stone will hit the door handles so I'd give it a shot. I was going to do it when it got warmer. I used krylon fusion paint, since it's supposed to be really good for plastics.

just you. i don't see anything wrong with it, unless you're talking about the way the light hits it. (I assume you're talking about the grille?)

it's surprisingly a really good match. i'd recommend it to any plastic piece on the superblack 4th gen. I am considering doing every faded black piece of plastic on the car. gives it a nice shiny shell-y black look.

It's probably cheaper and easier to sand/paint them than to replace them. That's what I will be doing.

there is a write up somewhere for this, I cant remember where though

basically just take off, sand well, prime, and paint. allow suffient time to dry between coats and it should last quite a long time.
