Door handle shields

Thinking of getting some door handle shields for my '57. I see they have them at Brothers for $20pr. Anybody have a picture how they look/fit installed? Are there good and bad ones or are they all the same set from the different vendors? Any light that can be shed would be appreciated. Thanks

I believe ''Dan in Pasadena '' has them installed on his task force truck .
You may want to look thru his thread - i think he has photos of his door with them installed

Thanks. I found Dan's build thread and went through it but didn't see a pic showing the shields. There was a pic of a pea green sub that had them but the picture didn't show them very well.

Re: Door handle shields

Thanks lowrodderchev. They look good. I've seen them from $19 (brothers)-$30(ebay) a pair. Do you know if they are all the same or are some better then others?.
