Why?

The chrome looks sooo nice. Esp on Silver and Black.

What color is your TL?

I have body colored door handles, but instead of paint I used a Silver metallic vinyl that I got from a local speed shop. It's a perfect match to the factory silver and it looks exactly like paint. This way if I ever want chrome handles again I can just remove the vinyl.

I might be a little biased on this.
But it looks good as hell on a black TL with chrome rims too.
