Scratched Door Handles

The 1995 coupe I recently purchased has a few defects for me to work on.  Installing a new emblem on the hood and the rear gas lid helped add a little sparkle to the car.  The door handles have a few scratches which detract from its appearance, so I purchased some rubber sticky-backed door step tread from my local Mac's hardware store.  I cut it down to 1.25 x 5.5 inches and stuck it on the door handle openings.  It will prevent future scratches from happening too, I hope.  See attached picture.

And...you can groom your fingernails if need be...
They make static cling inserts for that...Ida never thought to use what you did. Neat.

This is the rubber tread.  I had to go to a couple places to find it because most of the places had the tread that is more like black sandpaper and I didn't want that on my door handles.  I saw the static cling ones in a couple of Vette parts & accessory catalogs, but was afraid it might come off too easily, so I opted for the sticky tread stuff.
