Default CF wrapping door handle

Anyone ever tried to wrap door handle -- the part you grab and the window switches? Any pictures ?

On fense between covering it up or replacing the famous peeling plastic trim piece

Looks nice, but I was wondering about the LCI door handles, which have the recessed portion you put your hand into to pull the door shut. Because they are deep, not sure if the wrap will stick and how it will stay down. I have some 3M adhesive prep I was going to use and then heat gun it down. My fear is the air pocket at the bottom, since there is no place for it to go if not done properly to let the air escape out one side.
