Chrome door handles
Just bought my wife an 06 TSX in Carbon Gray with black interior. It's not here yet but all the ones on the lot had chrome door handles. It just bugged me for some reason. Is there some way to change them out?

Too bad JDM went the complete opposite with these, they are fully chrome anywhere but north america, I believe.
But if you dont like em that much. vinyl should work. or just electrical tape

It's a wider strip of chrome on the 06 than previous years' so it's more noticeable. Also depends on your body color, it can stand out more. There was someone who blacked out theirs with tape, and I think they had a CG as well.

It's easy to do, only takes a min.
Classy looking IMO

I really love the chrome on the door handles. I think it goes nicely with the chrome trim along the windows and with my future chrome rims 
p.s.- I wish my husband would have bought mine.
