I think the CDX model had available chrome inside handles as an option.
If you wanted to custom chrome the outside handles, then you would need to find a shop that can electro-plate metal onto plastic.
OR
If you are going to plate plastic a standard procedure is a surface
etch, a stannous chloride dip followed by a palladium chloride dip,
then electroless copper. At this point you have enough surface covered
to do an electroplate.
What happens is that some divalent tin is absorbed on the surface.
This tin reduces palladium to the metal which also sticks and then the
palladium surface will catalyze the electroless deposition of copper.
Once you have the thing copper plated you can plate what you want.
I would suggest bright nickel instead of chrome. Those chrome plating
baths contain sulfuric acid, hexavalent chromium and gas like crazy.
If you just gotta chrome plate get a chemical hood to contain the
splatter etc. and float plastic balls on the surface to minimize
spray.
Again, I suggest finding a shop that can do this for you.

Just go to www.car-parts-com and get used interior handles for a Leganza CDX. The handles will fit.
If you want to buy new handles, go to www.gm-car-parts.com
