Bat makes an overlay for it
I wish they would of made it the same material/finish as the rest of the aluminum in the car. They stand out and lo0k kinda awkward to me.

As someone already noted on another thread, one of the changes listed from Infiniti for the '09 will be "Washi-finish trim replaces aluminum trim for driver and passenger interior door pull handles (does not apply for vehicles with African rosewood interior trim)"

/Once a part number is available will definitely be ordering a pair (assuming size is the same). Problem solved.
//No scratches here (yet) but the washi will look much better than the crap piece on our pulls regardless.

Either put them on yourself (do0r handles shouldnt be hard) or Bat might have an installer in your area

Received the '09 washi-trim door pulls to replace the '08 silver ones.
Boxes are tagged as CAP-DOOR GRIP Part#'s are: 80944-JL03A & 80945-JL03A
/Looks to be a simple snap off/on but may wait and have tech do the switch at next oil change.
//Don't want to just take a flat edge and start prying around.
///Anybody done this yet?

as stated, the best thing to do would be to order the washi replacements.
