on a black car I think it would look great blacked out. Especially with your windows tinted.

Yes, it takes like 30 minutes-45 minutes to swap out the handles. They are only about 33 bucks each from www.acuraautomotiveparts.org

My freind who owns a body/paint shop is wanting to do this to my CL-S.........it will take a lil' work, but he said that he has to remove the trim form around the windows, sand blast the chrome off, than primer and paint them. That is what he did to my 01' CL grill, and he color matched it, and looks like an 03'! Once I find the time, I will get it done, and post pics!

I got that black out tape at PepBoys and did mine awhile back. It looked cool, but I removed it later. I've got pix on a CD somewhere. I think your black car looks good with a little chrome. I think an interesting look would be just to blackout the top trim and leave the bottom straight line silver.

I decided not to do this personally. The trim looks too nice with the polished lip of my 19's.

I think it would look good on your car though. It goes with what you have already done.

You'd have to get creative at the rear quarter window if only doing the top portion because there's no break in it.
