    I’m not thrilled with the logo idea, but anodized colors would be nice, especially some that match the paint colors, in addition to flat black.

    I think the aluminum door handle idea was brought up because the stock handles are flexy and prone to breaking, not to be flashy. I would certainly buy a set, and if it didn't already come painted, would have them powder coated black.

    Alum handles are a great idea, but going out of the way to make them super flashy would turn down a lot of potential buyers imo.

    Why not just make it an option you can decide what style you want when ordering??

    I'd be stoked if they just looked stock.

    Same. Options are great, but sometimes its easier to manufacture only what will likely sell the best. Id be up for a color matched paint or black powdercoat, but flashy anodizing is a no go for me and neither is a trd logo stuck randomly on a door handle o_O.

    How about the following choices:

    Stock:
    clear anodized
    flat black anodized
    glossy black anodized
    black powder coated

    Custom:
    user request powder coated (this opens up a lot of color choices)
    [powder colors stocked to match factory paint colors, maybe stock some pre-coated handles as well]

    Anything else can be sent out for anodizing.
