my approach is the NO BLING , i think less is more, but with just an esky handle you really cant go wrong, or you can get some paited black and get one of those chrome overlays just for the handle, thats what i did , that way i could swap em out and you really cant even tell.

I went the esky route, I like them but we will see how it goes. If I get tired I will just change them out. I will try to post some pics in a few days.

i would stick with the all black look. keeps the lines of the 2 tone paint scheme since theres no other chrome on the upper half. truck looks awesome

Thanks for the compliment. The only reason I tried them was because they go with the billet inserts and bowtie plus they look nice with the rims. I am still not totally convinced, I have another set of handles that I may sand down and paint black.

I ghetto rigged them, lol. I got a set of stockers and smoothed and painted them and put some chrome covers over the pulls. Total cost was about $20. Before you guys say anything, I know what you are thinking about the ghetto, but I am just trying to see how they will look before I spend the cash on them. They actually turned out pretty good though, you cannot tell they are just covers until you are opening the door.
