I think I'd recommend seeing if you can find some better escutcheons (inner door handle trim), Charles.  I don't recall seeing many as rusty as those.  So, I think you will have a good chance at finding some nicer ones to either use as is after a bit of polishing, or as better restoration candidates.

I agree the inside of the cups are pretty crusty on some of those. But my thinking was only the perimeter shows after you put the plastic inner cup in. So only the edge of the cup needs to turn out nice...

Let the chrome people know.  You don't want to pay for their time to try to fix that rust area.

Question:

I ordered the S30 door weatherstrips. They should be here shortly. Do they get glued on or does the windlace hold it well enough?

There is a great installation video on the S30world website. They don't use any weather strip glue. He does show using super glue for the butt joint at the middle of the lower section.
