Application of chrome handle covers

[Lizardcx5]

Has anyone attached the chrome handle covers to their CX 5.
Are they easy to fit and do they last well?
Regards

I assume, that you are talking about the ones for the rear door grab handles.
I have added better tape and it holds well this way.
I have also added, the thin chrome trim around the door chrome handles.
These hold well with the original tape.
I don't really like the vent ones. Most likely sooner or later I will remove them and get the one which is thin(knob is not included). The dash ones, can be seen too well in the windshield. Soon I will remove them.
Same goes for the switch trim, on the lower left side. Does not go well with the rest of the car.

Hi I was refering to the exterior door handles. Have you used these?

chrome grill plate cover

Added the central grill cover today. Looks real smart. Adds a bit if sex appeal to the front of the car.

I don't like exterior chrome stuff on my car. This is just a Mazda, not a Bentley.
I have put some interior chrome parts though. I'm still not sure about keeping them or not, I may remove them, or at least some of them.

Hardly makes it a Bentley. Just makes the front look a a whole lot better. So you like to make the inside Bentley plush not the outside, everybody to their own i suppose. . What have you added? Got any pictures? I was thinking about trim on the auto casing.

I like sportier cars and those don't look good with chrome. I'm trying to make mine the same way, at least from outside.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have any problem with chrome, it's just that it belongs on a Jaguar and such kind of cars. Maybe, a subtle chrome piece, here and there wouldn't hurt.
I had a couple of years ago, a Jaguar Vanden Plas.
The shifter casing is shinier, then the rest of the trims. The other ones, on the air vents are more like silver painted finish and the shifter casing, is more like chrome finish.
I have purchased the air vent kits, defroster kit with left side(right for you) button's trim. It seems like it's to much, I'm thinking that I should remove some of them.
The defroster ones fit very nice, compared to the air vent ones, but they are reflecting a lot in the windshield.
I have also purchased, the rear door inner grab handle trims. They look great, fit well, but the original tape is not sufficient, to hold them properly.
I'm getting right now, a chrome piece for my front bumper, to cover a damage, that somebody did it and drove away.
I don't know, how to "cover up" the chrome on this part.
