Well, now that im looking at them again, im kinda thinking about putting some clear on em. I don't know, still kinda undecided. I mean, w/just the trim of the door handles painted, it looks sweet, nobody will know they didn't come like that unless I tell them or if they just know about honda's. I think a gloss or semi-gloss would stand out more, be more of a contrast w/the rest of the handle but I think I can live with it as is, for now at least
