I agree too. I like the chrome. But some people HATE them!! I prefer the classy elegant look over the sporty look any day.

i can't stand the chromed door handles...but i'm just not a big fan of chrome on cars.....i also don't like the chrome trim around the windows and am considering taking it off and having it painted body color

I really like the chrome door handles, body colour is too boring...it's looks especially good on black cars like Crippens

I hate the f'in chrome door handles it really pisses me off it is the most gaudy and disgusting thing. I actually would prefer black around the window trimm too. I hate Acura for using the f'in chromes. Sports cars SHOULD NOT have chrome on them

Chrome door handles are way better than body color. It goes with the chrome trim around the windows and the front grill.
