I was thinking about that. what is the best way to paint the door handles?

damn that looks so clean, maybe I should do it too.

The paint was in good shape underneath it?

yeah im going for a clean look too, I wasn't really sold on shaving the mouldings until I saw your car.

I may have to do that this year.

keep it up man.

I'd say paint the handles and the outter housing of the mirror (but not the inner)

How come on coupes it looks like there is a crease going up the door? Does it make it stand out when you take the moldings off or something? It bothers me.

Yeah, that crease is just part of the shape of the car and stands out when the moldings are removed. The sedans have more of an arc like what the Sunfire GT's have with their skirts on.

It looks good but the stick skirts just don't go with it anymore now that the sides look nice and smooth. I'm betting the original RK Sport Import Fighter skirts would look mint on there.

Looks damn good, when I did mine it was like a whole different look. Just yesterday took off the emblems and looks 100% cleaner without.
With emblems

Without emblems

Just my opinion though.

Car looks nice and smooth without them, car looks great.
