What do you think about satin black door handles, fin, and spoiler?

I had my hockenheim silver M2C wrapped in xpel stealth a while back. The only two pieces they couldn't wrap were the door handles and fin because of the thickness of the xpel wrap. I'm thinking about having them wrapped in satin black along with the spoiler. What do you think?

Here are my terrible photo shop skills at work.

I'm on the fence with the door handles because I can't decide if black would add or detract from the look of the car. Do you plan on keeping the stock spoiler or going with a carbon alternative?

I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber everywhere. I probably won't.

If that's the case, IMHO, satin black on those bits wouldn't look bad. It would match the satin of the factory diffuser.

They weren't able to do my antenna either but they did cover my door handles. Good to know I have a twin out in AL!

Ok, I was perusing used GT3 and several had black out door handles. They looked pretty good. If not black, perhaps something closer to matte HS.

My car was done in Suntek matte PPF and the door handles and fin were a challenge. The door handles are complete but the fin is open on the back edge.
