Door handle decals

Got these door handle decals for my 2022 Subaru Crosstrek in size medium and they fit perfectly! They are every bit as good quality as the factory door handle protector accessories but for 1/3 of the price. The adhesive is extremely sticky so try your best during application to only hold it by the outer edges otherwise you’ll pull at/stretch the adhesive a little bit. I’d also recommend lining them up centered behind the handle and then press the center in first. For the first one I did I tried eyeballing it with even space left on top and bottom but as soon as I got down to the middle starting from the top, pushing that middle part in made the bottom come up higher than it originally looked. By pushing in the center first you’re locking it in place centered with the handle and can smooth out the top and bottom sections from there.

I purchased something similar 5 years ago when I bought my 2018 brand new. But the ones I got are magnetic so you can easily remove and replace.
I havnt had a single issue with any of them coming loose or falling off.
These are black ones: https://amzn.to/3ATy75c
I bought "carbon fiber" but didnt see them right off the bat.
I got the STI ones and they fit perfectly and look great.

I have the Grey Khaki colored one. Your finger nails scratch the paint over time. It happened on my silver one and I noticed it starting on this one. You cant really get behind your door handles to wax off or rub off the scratches. And I don't have long nails or anything else so. I wanted the STI ones because anything the Subaru makes fits perfectly every time. They were a little more but I don't like doing things twice. And I have a bunch of other STI parts on this Crosstrek. The STI Package (unofficially) so to speak.

Rings are also bad for the paint behind the handles.

I'm looking for some clear ones, anyone on here have any experience with something like that? My Crosstrek is white, so I'm not convinced the carbon look is for me.
