I have chrome door handles and I think it looks alright, but my car is black, and I have chrome window trim to match it. Eventually I will change to black trim and door handles for a cleaner look, though.

Not that my opinion is worth anything, but to me it looks too much like you took it to Maaco and couldn't afford the masking tape.

I agree.. it does look cheap to me in my opinion, but i think people should make there cars different looking than all the others .. i hate when cars all look the same..like if you go to a car show or something and there all restored to original exact look alikes all in a row(not trying to rip on your car, just my opinion, some of my friends hate the stripes on my car but whatever i love em)
