Gloss black or CF door handles
Has anyone added gloss black or carbon fiber door handles? My diamond white sedan has night package and carbon package and black wheels, but it's still too white for my taste. I'd love to consider gloss black or CF door handles, but I have no idea where to start with that. I assume there's no OEM option. Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

I have gloss black on mine, I like the look. Mine is the same setup as yours. You can either paint them or plasti dip them. I've seen one with CF handles, and it looks out of place. I thought about switching to CF because I have the kit and spoiler that are CF but it was a little excessive IMHO

I'm tempted to order these and just return them if they look like crap...

Those don't look terrible. I hate covers though. People could pop them off, they could fall off, etc. If you want the look its not that expensive to get them painted (or do it yourself). Just take the handles off yourself and I'm sure you could get them painted for less than $100.

You could always just skin the OEM handles with CF. Just brainstorming ideas here instead of getting covers

Yeah I think skins will look better than the stickers available on Amazon. I wish MB offered its own...chrome/gloss black/CF...it's a lot on one car. Would love options for more consistency that don't appear tacky.

Check Mode Carbon our, they might sell full CF handles. Gonna take a beating in the wallet department though. Skinning would be your best authentic/price conscious option.

My 2019 C63s is black but from the factory came with chrome insignia. I changed out the insignia and had the chrome door handles wrapped. Worked out perfectly and looks much better. For a stealthy appearance one doesn't want chrome. I also added Vorsteiner wheels with Michelin PS4's. With the Vorsteiner wheels offset I no longer had a need for 12mm spacers.

I had my windows tinted and while they were at it I had them tint the rear tail lights and reflectors. It takes away some of the harsh red color. Again, I am into the stealth look.
#23
Yeah stealth looks good. My car is white so that's not really an option! But I love the contrast from the night package and CF package, I just wished it applied to more external parts than it does.

I had them wrapped by a local auto tint place that also does wrap. Think it cost about $50. It looks nice in my opinion and I've had no issued with peeling, etc. I will attach a photo but sorry about the quality. The rear emblems are all black and the side bi-turbo. I left the hood and front chrome for now. I added the spoiler myself.
Those wheels are sick!

Thanks! I bought the wheel tire package (Vorsteiner/Michelin) from a vendor online here. They mounted, balanced, acrylic coated and shipped to my home. Right now I am contemplating turbos. I have a Eurocharged tune and catless downpipes and would like to kick it up a notch with turbos. Just hard to turn loose with those big bucks. Renntech quotes about $15k for tune, turbos and fuel pump. If I add turbos Eurocharged will retune free if I provide the turbos for their installation $2k. The turbos are $5k from Weistec. Still a nice chunk of change. I'm contemplating.
