I think that is a little too much "shine" for a JK, unless it's going to be a mall cruiser or a show Jeep. At most, I would spring for the door knobs (but not the whole handle) just to make my Jeep a little different than everyone elses.

First though, I'd have to get my Jeep, and check out how much work it's going to be to pull the handles off to change the knobs before I would consider purchasing them.

A little blingy for my tase too. I think I'm one of the rare people who like the changes to the handles. Just works better for me. I don't do the kind of wheeling that will knock the handles off my doors. I might like it better if my jeep was daarker. I don't care for chrome on silver.

Too blingy for me, especially for $529 (4dr). Black anodized fits my taste a bit better.

Default waste

Jeeps are made for the trail not for the next fast and the furious movie. These are a waste of money. Black factory handles are fine with me and cheaper to replace if I catch a rock or tree with the side of my JK while trail riding.

Holey smokes. I didn't realize they were that much.
That's pretty close to a bumper. Or a lift kit.

Thanks for the feed back. The polished may not be for everyone, For those we will have them in black anodized in November .
This is a vehicle that is comparible in style to a H2/3 and still has a solid axle and a full convertible top. There is a whole new image to this jeep

There are nice handles and you have some kewl stuff. But now that you bring up H2/H3 thing, am I the only one who has a feeling that the 4 door JKs are going to become next bling bling candidate?

And what exactly is wrong with the stock hinges ?

Whats the point if they are going to be in black anodized ? They'll look just like the plastic ones that are on there, except you'll have wasted $529.

Maybe the stock plastic ones cost $600 to replace... in that case it might be worth it. Although the changes in the handle look a little jesse james / poison spyder / SUPER-HARDCORE-MURDER-DEATH-SKULLS / So-Cal to me.

I think the stock hinges are color matched to the jeep, so unless you have a black jeep you won't be getting black hinges. I really love the look of black accessories on white and I think the black hinges will look great on my white unlimited...that is...when I get it

Not sure I can afford them tho :whoaisme:
