Teaser: Black Jack door handles on Astro Black

Drillslinger · #1 11-13-2007, 11:57 AM

Well folks, I finally got one of my Black Jack door handles (insert shameless Outmotoring plug here

) installed on Drill Bit. I must say that they look SUH-weet

I'm mainly posting this so that I HAVE to post pics when I get home tonight so.... more to follow

Great to hear. Those black jacks look very nice, I think. I will be waiting for pics...

I'm looking forward to them too!

Post the pics ASAP please!

Yesterday, beautiful weather.... today, rain

Anyway, for now, these are the pics that I have

(This first one also shows how D.B. looks Post-TSW springs)

And for comparison....

Oh, and I've e-mailed Mike @ Aesthetic Creations to see if he can do a UJ A-Panel in Frosted Vinyl for us

I think that they look great on your Mini. I'm glad that you posted this though because I was about to order them, and I don't think it's quite the look that I'm going for.

Your roof color and the astro lend perfectly to them, but my jet black with black roof doesn't. I was going to get them to try and black out the chrome, but it has a lot more color than I'd like. I'm going to need to get the AC ones when they're available

Glad I could help

Haha, you took the only negative part about my comment!

It looks great on the AB! And I'm impressed that you installed them, I hurt it's a tough task.

Those look pretty sick. I really like them.

Drillslinger · #10 11-13-2007, 06:03 PM

I didn't see it as a negative. Quite the opposite, my pics helped you save some $$$ on a mod that wouldn't "float yer boat"

The passenger side wasn't too bad. I think perhaps the 05-06 has a bit more room

It only cost me some bruised knuckles and a small amount of blood

I dread the driver's side though. Something tells me that the lock cylinder will provide a new challenge

That does look GREAT with your color combo.

+1 (or is that 2?). The silver on your car works better with these than just chrome.

+1 Very nice indeed. I have been wanting to do this ever since they came out but wasn't sure how they'd look and to go thru all that work. They really look sweet!
