Default Door handles and side vents

I was thinking of having them chromed... Any thoughts?
How would I have it done. Suggestions?

crossfirestore.com has chrome covers for both...no personal experience, just saw the listing...I have a black crossfire with chromed wheels and think that they would "pop" out of the shiny black paint job rather than the painted silver, but would depend on the quality and the "fit" over the existing wings and handles

And don't forget the chrome overlays for the grille and windshield trim so everything matches.

Where can I get the Chrome Overlays for the Grille?
I had my grille chromed, a paint type process but after a short time it took on a gold tint.
It looked GREAT until that happened. It was done by a friend at his place of work so
fortunately FREE.

I did the chrome overlays for the vents and handles from The Crossfire Store on my yellow roadster. They fit well and I like the looks. No problems in a year and a half

Chrome grill cover is available at KoreanAutoImports.com. They also have handle and vent covers plus a bunch of other covers. I have no idea on the quality of products.

Thanks, I checked it out. Comes in a kit, all the pieces for $699.95. Don't want it that much. Will pass.
Thanks for the info though, appreciated.

You don't have to buy the whole kit. You can get just the handles, the vent, the grille overlay, or any combination of the three.

I didn't see any way of doing it on the web site. Still think I will pass. I bought a billet grille, looked OK. Then got one from DTMenance
which is on the car now. Really done very nice. Think I will just like what I have for now.

Overlays are $140 at the CrossfireStore.com
Look under trim. They are resellers so they might be cheaper elsewhere.
