Is it just me...?! MB cheaped out

Hey guys!

The door lock pulls are so cheap IMHO. Any recommendations for chrome/silver lock pulls that will fit our cars? I just grabbed this generic image from ebay as an example...

They're door pins, how heavy duty do they need to be? Not as if you'll be hand pulling them.....or is it just the look you dislike?

And I agree, the stock ones does look cheap...

Are these covers or direct replacements for the stock pins?

Thanks,

should be direct replacements. they're cheap enough not to bother with covers.

The stock ones look cheap so I splurged and spent $15.
