Anyone else wish the door handles were cooler?

I mean our 8's door handles have an almost identical design to the door handles on my dad's '06 camry. Shameful!

For such an exotic looking car it deserves exotic door handles. Something like the flush door handles on a DB9 or a V8 Vantage would be awesome here.

What do you think?

Well one man's stupid is another's "Brilliant!".

But imagine flush door handles, they would look awesome on this car.

And Mazda could improve them for future RX-8 models.

but imagine the fact that all your car problems are not solved, and the dealer messed up your front bumper...

so your car is still broken and all you have to post is an art deco handle ?

poser.

Check out the door handles on the new body style of Mustangs. They are 100% identical to the RX-8.

Even more shame! But I guess it is a little bit understandable, probably parts bin sharing.

I would, but it involves too much work. Find the digi-cam, take a pic, search for the usb cable, load it on the pc, then resize it to upload it onto thread. I have a cellphone pic but its very low quality.

Ok, swoope, you got me. In reality I own a Ferrari F430 and I'm just dead jealous of RX-8 owners so I prowl these boards and try to instill as much negativity as possible.

With a few dozen women to watch? You've already shown us that you two can go for hours on end with just each other.

yea, i must agree, being picky about the door handles is seemingly just facetious. They are plenty sleek to me, and needn't be pointlessly complex or abstract. just my take though.

They're doorhandles. They are ok, not great, not bad - for bad see stainless on any color Z

The only change I'd be interested in would be complete removal. mmmmm . . . seamless
