I am looking for one, any of them better than others.  I have seen a few that fit on Wings that I guess will work. What's your experience?

The package rack on the lid duz double duty as the handle.  cooldude Once you release the trunk lock it-the trunk lid-comes up enough for me to get fat arthritic fingers in the opening and lift lid!  coolsmiley RIDE SAFE.

I have seen what looked like a kitchen cabinet handle on a trunk somewhere.  I have the rack on my trunk and it works well being on the top.  Not sure how a handle on the back edge, two screws horizontal, would hold up.

One of mine has such a handle.

I'll try to take a pic of it tomorrow evening.

It works pretty good and feels sturdy.

A wing handle will work I have seen it on many IS trunks.

I added this handle to my trunk, easy to mount and works fine.

    One of the best sources for quality chromed handles, are marine supply stores. My last Interstate, I topped the saddlebags with sleek swooping chromed grips that looked like they were designed for the purpose. ($29.00 each) You might check for options in that area.   Mike in N.Y.

Here's a pic of the handle on mine.

I think that it looks ok and it is functional:



Here's how it's mounted from the underside:
