Hey Randy do me a huge favor...seriously.

the TE37's look good on the car and I like it, but for your next purchase could you have a body shop shave the door handles and install solenoid openers for it?

Just asking because although I like the design and flow of the 350 the door handles kill it every time IMO and I think shaved would look sick on it.

Yeah, the door handles kill every 350Z IMO. G35C could benefit too but not nearly as much as the Z could.

10x better without the lines being interrupted.

Or just paint them the same color of the car...kinda of the cheezy way around it but deff a lot cheaper.

uhh no painting them will not help at all.

Honestly I look at the door handle design as a complete after thought on this car. Here they have this sleek, powerful and fairly nimble car destined for the track and then they cut the smooth lines with door handles I have seen on the discount rack of Home Depot.

Honestly the door handles don't bother me at all. Thats what most people rant about along with the "cheap looking interior". I've had over 20 cars and can definitely say that even though the Z interior isn't very detailed and up to date, it's firm and very functional.

Here are 2 examples of door handle mods. Shaved doesn't look right IMO. Maybe a recessed hidden type handle would have looked best but mine is staying the way it is.

Shaved looks better in my opinion, but to each their own.

Your car is damn hot by the way.
