I don't have a picture but it is body colored with the Black Optic Package - Daytona Grey in my case.

Here is a picture - it is just a solid handle with no inlay. Took the picture at night so the color is a bit distorted.

Hope this helps.

thanks Ocean,

I guess changing the inlays to body colour is out of the question. Removing the whole handle is also a PITA. What do you guys think about wrapping them in "Daytona grey vinyl wrap?

I'm not sure, but would the body coloured handles be found on the "base" model (not technic)?

A wrap would could definitely work. Execution would be just as important as the color you use though.

I think that the body color handles are on the base model. Perhaps the P+ too.

Call the parts department and ask the counter guy how they are attached. They can look at a handle diagram to see how they are held on.

If you're the adventurous type, warm up your appliques with a hair dryer and try to gently pry them off. Many times trim like that is held on with Scotch 3M double sided tape. Practice on a rear door handle first so if you screw it up, it's not something that gets touched everyday.
