Well, for $16 you get a metal handle, either polished stainless steel, or powdercoated semi-gloss black. I bet the first time it is well below freezing outside that plastic "handle" cracks. Also it will deteriorate in the sunlight/weather. Plus, IMHO it looks kind of hokey. But to each his own!

You have a point there with the freezing part. Not a problem in the deep south here. Honestly I had to double up on the handle for some extra rigidity. I found these corner guards at work and I figured I would give it a try. The trunk opens up so high you almost need a handle on the inside.

Yes, a handle on the inside would help a lot.

 

I think I'd like your handle better if it was painted black, and mounted under the plate. You should be able to do it.

I use something similar, it's called the licsense plate frame...
