Door Handle Scratchpads

1. Keeps the ladies fingernails from slicing up the ride.

2. Looks so deluxe cool.

Mission Accomplished.

Sorry you don't share the same high quality tastes as I but I got over your kind here long ago. Have a fantastic day.

As for the dental work, that's a private health matter covered by The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

I have to be honest and say that I'm not a huge fan of bling on cars, much less a red one. But to each his own I guess.

That said, I think it's a great idea, my passenger side door handle has been scratched to hell by my gf's nails. Love the matching interior.

You sure did KCALB. They are white LED for added nighttime bling.

Maybe they are available in depressing black or fake carbon fiber or something, i dunno. Or...you could cut some clear hood protectant and lay in in there for the nude look.

they can be called scratch pads all they want but won't they get scratched and scuffed too? I mean to say the chrome is just painted on the pad thing itself right?

I think it looks good and goes with your theme...it's not for everyone but it works...

second question


I never realized the washer nozzles were removable from the cowl...thought they were one piece...are they easy to remove redyaris?


third question

WHY THE HELL DO I NOT SEE YOU DRIVING AROUND?

you're in Orlando right?

You haven't seen them before because nobody else would rock those things even if you gave em' to them for free.

It's not my style, but it doesn't look too bad. My question is though, what kind of nails do these women have that they're scratching the car??? Is anyone dating wolverine or what? I keep my nails long and have never had problems with scratches on any car door handles.

Just to let you know...they make clear film you can put under to negate fingernail scratches.

I think the pieces are chrome dipped or plated, I didnt cut into it or anything. You'd have to dig pretty deep into it with cat claws intentionally to make a dent. And if they do get scratched, its an easy replacement instead of a repaint job.

Thanks for your respectful comment but i'm not worried about everyone else, just me.

Yes, you have to remove the black windshield trim piece to get to them. Each is held on by a nut.

I work virtual at home so I don't commute to work at all. You'll see me on the 408, the 417, Colonial, UCF area, Universal, Old Town & I Drive occasionally. Keep your eyes peeled for a red flash sometime and if you see me by all means flag me down for a chat.

Everything on the car is matching, but you need to spray chrome the bottom grille and get some bigger and chromier wheels.

I was thinking the same on the lower grill. The spray out of a can chrome sucks, but they have vinyl now that really has a better chrome match.
