Door Handle Protectors

Has anyone considered this little add on?


Robot Check Robot Check


Hate to call out the lady on this one but she predominantly wear those fake nails and often the door handles suffer scratch marks because of it. I do my best to open the doors for her but in a quick pinch she opens the door and the nails go to work on the shiny finish.

Dang, those must be some nails!! I've only had door scratches in the past from carelessness with keys.

My car came with this from the dealership, the particular brand is 3M. It's in the door handle cups and door edges, and is invisible except from up close. I'm confident it'll protect from scratches, it seems really heavy duty. I'm pretty sure you can pick it up on ebay. Pics:

Watch out for rings too. Some women have this huge chunk of graphite with sharp edges strapped to their finger.

Yeah I heard about those...they are extremely expensive yet are intrinsically worthless...and if men want to keep buying their big toys and have their freedom one should avoid purchasing one.

There was another thread somewhere on here where a guy got magnetic door handle protectors. Same as those, but magnetic instead of adhesive. I think his were carbon fiber printed. I think they came from Amazon.

That's the one...errr...four!

And I for one am relieved. You can never be too sure that you aren't a robot...

Hey that's pretty sharp! If I didn't already have the clear ones, Those would be tempting. I'm really digging the black on white with my car.
