Need an opinion

I bought these chrome door handle "shells." They fit under the door handle in that oval-shaped groove. I have not taken off the adhesive tape to install yet because I am a little worried I am flirting with distastefulness. The Pros: They are a nice accent along with the chrome on the side molding and windows as well as the chrome wheels I have on my car. Also, the contrast isnt too bad since my car is silver. I think if I had a black car it might be a little much. The Cons: Maybe a little tacky? Whats your opinion??? I appreciate it.

hmm, actually it might look decent on a black car, i guess we'd need to actually try it out and check. you'd need some nice chrome rims though.
