Default Tell me if this would look stupid.

I was eating lunch with the ol' pops today, and he told me I should add a black fuel door, along with black door handles. Now, I am already going to add the fuel door, but how would black handles look?


I don't think I've seen any stangs on here with different colored handles... Is that a sign that it would look stupid?

Get some electrical tape, cover them up and find out risk free.

Let me be the first to say "looks are subjective" "to each his own" etc etc blah blah blah.

But aesthetically speaking designers are doing their best to streamline door handles (see Iam Mcallum: Aston Martin, Jaguar.) into the door to make the lines clean as possible. I think the most impressive contemporary designs on cars make you almost miss the door handles, such as the Ferrari F430. Black door handles would do the oppositte.

Thus, I gotta give this the thumbs down for sure. It'd be different though. Really different.

Black headlights will be installed once I get my Roush front on. Gotta be able to see at night with those black covers.


I like the idea of the black handles, due to it being different. but, I do agree with you Qusus on trying to make the handles blend in.

I might just try the tape idea. Never thought of that.
