Any alternative interior door handles for the 2nd gen fbodies?

[ddavisart]

Hey guys, Looking for something that looks better than the original interior door handle on my 73 firebird, but cant seem to find any thats made for the car. I'm only seeing universal stuff where you need a custom door panel. Anybody know of a billet or new design option for those years that fit the stock panel? I figured there has to be something out there with all the 2nd gen's running around.

As another option, anybody on here powdercoat their interior handles? Wondering how that would hold up and if you had to dechrome the handle first. Thanks

I just painted mine semi-flat black. Since I grab the handles from the back side, my hand doesn't really touch the painted surface, so the paint has held up just fine for years.
