Bought Chrome Door Handles off of eBay

Alright. I couldn't resist. I bought myself a pair of Chrome Door Handles off of eBay. I can't wait until they come[:)][8)]

Here is a pic of what they will look like.

I wanted to hear from people on what their thoughts on this was. Good Idea? Bad Idea? Will it look cool? Will it look dumb?, etc.

I respect your guy's opinions, and wanna hear what you have to say about them.

Thanks.[:)]

Congrats.
they look good on any W140, had them mounted to my S600 looks just great, 100 times better than the faded black PLASTIC door handles. Just use some rubbing alcohol to clean the original handles before attaching the covers. They stick very good if you follow the instructions.

cool. Thanks for the info Goatman. I remember hearing something about cleaning them properly in the old thread about Chrome Door Handles, but it didn't go too much in depth. Thanks for the info. I will make sure to pick up a bottle of rubbing alcohol in preparation.

I remember seeing them on your car, and they look very very good. I just couldn't resist.[:)]

Sound like they will looke great. What did you pay, if you don't mind. The faded black really is not looking good on my car.

60 USD for everything. It's kinda a lot, but I think it is certainly worth it.[:)]
