Swapped my GLE door handles for SE ones
Man, what a pain at first. The driver's door was the most difficult because of the door lock cylinder. However once I figured out how to deal with the actuator rods, it got easier to do. The car definitely looks cleaner. I'm thinking of blacking out the chrome trim around the windows. Thoughts?

I'm a fan. It looks very good. I'm looking to do the same thing on my black GLE sometime in the near future. Definitely go the next step and black out the window trim, especially because you have the 00 SE tails and tinted windows. I think that would accent those very well.

I always thought the chrome handles looked out of place unless the handle is prominent, like on the 370Z. Having a flush handle in chrome is dumb.
Well done on the handle swap. Nice detail.

Looks way better.....I hate chrome on plastic parts of cars.
Black out that window trim.......or if you feel like going the extra yard and being a little original, you could try to paint it the body color. I think that would look great!

I've never had good luck with paint chrome parts. I figured it's easier to get the handles that are the color I wanted.
