Painted door handels and fuel door :), no more pinkish color Options

[mgnt232]

So mine, along with alot of other red celi's i have seen, all have pinkish door handles. I assume it was some sort of a faint color difference and with it being the handles and being touch it wears away? But my stock mirrors looked like this too, not sure why.
Anyway I decided today was the last day for them!
But I also wanted to keep the key thing the silver metal color, so a good bit of info, a nickel fits in the spot absolutely perfect!
So some before and afters, tell me what you think (i went black to go with the rims/tails/sidemarkers/ect)






And Yes i got hit! In a parking garage at a hotel between 3am and 5:30am! I was pissed!


Fav. part, is the new decal. I like it anyways








All done- tell me what you think. like, hate?

You know this is funny, because on my old Sunfire, my door handles and mirrors were black and I painted them red to match the car. Hahaha

Your handles were faded due to obviously people touching them - red is also the fastest automotive color to fade, my Dad's old Geo Prism was turning pink before he got rid of it.

Your mirrors were suffering sun damage, most likely. Mine were too - a little rubbing compound and a powerball took care of those though.

Personally I think the JDM sticker is a tad much and the gas tank door sticks out a little too much, but hey, it's your car. The door handles are nice and subtle though.
