I have a non tech 09 and didn't understand why the chrome accent door handles were not standard. Anyway after some research and great customer service from Kaleb at Prestige Acura (he's a sponsor here). We found the parts and made it happen! Looks a million times better than the all plastic parts. The key to all this is to use the rear for the fronts. It's less expensive that way. I think it ended up being a couple hundred bucks. If your interested email Kaleb for part numbers (kcunningham@hanselauto.com) if you have any questions let me know. -Rob

 

I think that chrome door handles definitely adds to the luxury look of the car -- altho it is rather subtle on the TL tech & RL. They are standard on the TSX, RDX, RL & MDX but for some reason they only come on the tech TL (similar to chrome handles only come on the v6 Accords) ... but even worse is that they are not even offered on the ZDX (I suspect bc they are the same as the TSX so making them color-matched differentiates them). I ponder if someone could order TSX handles for their ZDX like you did ......... hmmmmmmmmmm

 

Interesting reading...
