Door handles

Anyone looking for an easy yet attractive upgrade to their door handles, here's one option. I wrapped the center chrome door handle piece in carbon fiber film and it turned out pretty well. Thoughts?

I've blacked out all markers, trim,badges and tailpipes. The only question left is should I powder coat the wheels?
