...OK how about getting "Black" door handles? No Jack. Just black.

I hate Chrome and I've love to have matte black (not glossy) handles, without the hassle of trying to get them painted.

Talk to Lagston, he wraps them I believe, and his vinyl could withstand a nuclear blast I think. Or I wonder if you could pay someone to wrap them while they're still on the car? That would save a ton of time and a huge headache.

Edit: OMG I love those handles, maybe even more than my checkered set. I'd only go with the handles though, don't want to over-do it (unless you can find a "black jack" rearview mirror cap. THAT would look sweet.

I just put carbon fiber handles on my car. I do like the Black UJ, but I think it would be a bit much. One thing I can say though is enjoy the install, what a pain in the neck. If I had to do it again, I would probably sell my MINI.

Where did you get the CF handles? I remember seeing them on here a while back but a search brought back nothing. Do they have to be imported from mars or something? Surely JCW is going to come out with some to go with all the other carbon fiber bits that they have, especially since they are doing all these other types of handles.

Quess if you could get a correct size graphic to put on a flat piece of vinyl...
