Which door handle should i go with?

soon i will be fixing my doors.
and i'm tossing around the idea of what to do for door handles.

theres the stock ones.

the 4th gen ones (are they lower profile?)

the corvette ones which are pictured below


and the truck ones (the ones that Stephen has)

what do you guys think?

NEW 4th gen handles, don't buy used. They bolt right in. Hell, at least try them first.

The 98-02's might have been painted the same color as the car. 93-97's were black. No difference besides the paint.

What he said. I wish I woulda bought new, but oh well. They still look close enough to stock that its not too noticeable, but they're cleaner IMO.

Not to mention, Rockauto.com has 93-02 handles, brand new in black for $8.71 a piece.
