As Custom said, you'd have to do this on a 2000+ Bonneville to make this work, sorry :( You can check the other body styles (Buick, Olds) of your era to see if the handle is similar...if so it might work!

I called CFoote said "you're on crack" and hung up.

While it'* interesting to know there'* replacements available if they ever stop making replacements for our cars... I'm not sure chrome handles would be on my Xmas list.

Hey you guys do what you want, it was just a thought.....Acuras, BMWs, Lexuses, most higher end cars have interior chrome door handles....it was just an idea to see if it would look nice.

I'm with you on this, the chrome looks so much more elegant than the fisher-price plastic handles. heh. anyways, leave em' be, they like what they like...

BTW, I wonder if for the Bonneville it was a mid-year thing. I've seen some 2003'* before on autotrader that did have chrome handles. wierd.

Good to see you on ACNA Cfoote. I had no idea you were Cherry2002. lol. that'* funny.
