Aluminum door handles

Folks, I am looking for brushed aluminum door handles or covers to match with my pearl satin fuel door and OEM strakes. Any pointers, pics?

Thanks in advance.

I was looking for the same, but couldn't find any. I got some chrome covers for $15 shipped from eBay and painted them silver. Here are some pics.

Really appreciate the pics. Thanks. How did you paint them and what did you use? Looks like the paint is very metallic.

BTW, what do you have on your B-pillar?

Why dont you just paint the door handles? It would look better than those covers.

I put painted covers b/c I can remove them later if I want to.
I sanded the chrome and used some silver metallic spray paint and clear coat.
On the b-pillar I have THIS. It is clear coated too.

It is a good idea to have the option of a roll-back in case you change your mind.

Thanks. The sticker on your B-Pillar is really cool!

Please take off those ridiculous silver door handles ... I don't recall buying an RX-8 because I wanted a 350Z. I really like your car but those door handles need to go. Immediately! Please!

But it is not your 8 anyways. Let him do what he wishes.

I don't really dig it because you can still see the red through the driver side key slot. Chrism's car looks mighty fine because he has a red/chrome thing goin'
