Anyone else wish the door handles were cooler?

The handles look alright.

It's nit picking I guess. Considering how many times you open and close your car door, you hardly ever LOOK at your handle. Different, flashier, or whatever, no matter how you change it, I dont think it will get any more notice.

Unless you chrome it. Which ruins the flow of the car IMO.

Look at the door handles on the 350Z and be happy with what we have.

I like them they way they are - they are subtle, they don't distract from the lines, they don't produce wind drag. If I want more bling I will add the little triangles to the front and rear - chrome handles will just make it look retro like an old porthole Buick. Don't want port holes on the 8 either! If I lived in an extreme climate I could see temperature control for locks, door handles and for steering wheels - but unless its a nice Sci-Fi type change, the only thing my 8 needs is a real oil quantity gage and a light inside the hood!

I also wish the engine was cooler. Sometimes, when I touch it, I burn my fingertips.
