Chrome Door Handle Inlays

I have a 2007 Acura TL and I am interested in getting the chrome door handle inlays, I have been searching all over (ebay, google, acurazine) but no luck, does anyone know where I can purchase this and roughly how much they cost. Also wondering if anyone has any good pics they can post of this.

Thanks

just cut it yourself. ebay has just the pieces for around 20 bucks. with this one, you cut the pieces yourself and have around 13 feet to spare.

with my spare feet of the stuff ,sold some, gave some to my boys and added this

I think the strips on the door handles look good (very much like the eBay ones), but the stuff under the emblems...ehhhh not my thing, but it isn't my car either...lol.

Chrome handles on an ASM combined with the Shaved Door mod as well as ACURA logo on the side mirrors.

What?...ebay should have these...i got mine for under $15 (incl. shipping), although shipping took about 3 weeks.

And they definitely add some "bling" factor to the side of the car...matches the lines on the side of the car well, and that silver strip on our headlights

Interesting, I'd def buy it from a store...a whole roll not a four pieces. This ebay guy is smart..making a killing.

I wonder if they have carbon fiber trim or dark silver..it will look better on my WDP.

Thanks...I don't know why they call it "shaved" door handles, but hey, it really looks good. Guys, I don't know if you're into it, but the ACURA logo on the side mirrors is a very classy mod that's very inexpensive and is easy to do.

Question

InFaMouSLink:

Are you sure it's 1/4" - I bought 1/8" to fit in the door handle groove from local auto shop and it appears to be the right size. What did you use to get a clean cut on the moulding? Snips, scissors, hack saw? Or did you smooth it off with a file?

like i said, its like 1/4 might be 1/8 dont know. if you said its 1/8 that fits its that. i'm freaking stuck in ohio right now for work and cant look in my trunk. i used a gerber to cut mine which made a straight cut in between the door handle and the other piece and for the ends i used curved snips for the round look.

Thanks Infamouslink. Sorry you're stuck in Ohio - which obviously means you were not at the Yanks game watching our boys pound it to right field and come back against the Indians. Hopefully you've got your XM active so you could at least listen to the game on the road!

Looks good ABP_04TL! And for anyone who's interested - I've confirmed 1/8" is the correct size moulding. Finished mine yesterday.
