The FC does not have any other exterior chrome accents that would make chrome door handles actually look like they belong.

And this thread was pruned for inappropriate replies

Quit comparing FCs to altimas and 350's. We are way outtas there league and I don't know if you've ever taken a look at any silver tinted fc windows, it lookslike a bad excuse for the back from the future Delorean. Now the Delorean was a cool car, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't even close to an FC. So go get a Delorean or and Altima or get this stupid little idea of chroming out your FC out of your head. What's next, Giovanna 20's?

There's absolutely no stock chrome on the FC, so why would you chrome the handles?

I was under the impression that the 350's handles are brushed aluminum not chrome. :hmm:

they're brushed aluminum looking plastic. anyhow, just to prove everyone wrong, maybe I should chrome my door handle just to show you guys how incredibly awesome it would look. Maybe I'll even put a hood ornament on my vert and paint it brown. It'll be like a smaller version of the Ford LTD that my dad had when I was a kid.

Just so it accents something, maybe you should chrome the black trim strip as well. Don't forget the chrome trim around the wheel wells and hatch. Add some chrome spinners while you're at it!

im picturing 13" chrome daytons sticking out of the car like 1 foot, curb feelers, chromed mud flaps, chain link steering wheel, foe fur interior....... then maybe chrome handles would be ok........ although by then, the poor car would need to be crushed due to it being ghetto'ized
