Status: offline 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?

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.

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'd leave them both alone. It might look a little out of place on an otherwise clean looking solid color car. I thought of doing the chrome handles for the retro look, but decided to leave them off and go for the clean solid color look perspective.

Status: offline I wouldnt do the door handles, def ricey IMO. But keep in mind these are our opinions and what should really matter to you is what you like. At the end of the day your the one driving the car. If you like them go for it. Like MrRogers said try the electrical tape idea and give yourself an idea on how it would look.

Black handles or black handles and black plastic thingys
behind the actual door handles?
Are you going black Roush Spoiler, black Roush front bumper
cover and a black Roush Hood Scoop also.
Now that would be different.

Status: offline Im going with a Black Hoodscoop, black snot nose stripe and a black GT take off spolier on my Satin silver soon as I get the extra money I am suposed to get from Uncle Sam.

Kind of doing the Orage/black boss look but with Silver, and black. Since I got the black Rocker stripe already.. I figured it would just add that little bit more to the look.
