Ya just paint the bezel part of the handles and IMO it would look 100 times better. I have seen several trucks/suv's with the all chrome ones and the just look outa place.

The colsore turn out awesome man!

And the rest of the truck looks good! Next you should paint your bowtie red or get a billet one and also paint the top cap on the bumber, and mabye event the lower valance too.

Alright this is off topic but blaze5509 where in the hell did that gauge cluster come from. I have been looking everywhere for the red gauge cluster and I can not find it. Thanks.

I never liked long beds...until seeing yours. I think it looks great!.....except the handles. If anybody else likes the handles I have a set of Putco Chrome handle covers that came with my leather interior as a gift....I'll take $25 shipped for them....but I think most of us agree that they are best left off the truck.

truck looks awesome.. like what your doing with a long bed.

i actually think those handels complement the wheels like you said. I have chrome handels and buckets on mine like that and i think they look pretty good on a black truck with the chrome stockers i have. eventually i am wanting to do no chrome and get the ss front bumper, get my roll pan welded up, and than paint the handels, but thats just because i wanted a change from the chrome that i have had on here for like almost 2 years now...keep up the good work, looks sweet.

thanks alot. its hard to make a long bed worthy of compliments, but I needed something practical to haul my 450r around in with some style. when I firsdt bought the truck 3 1/2 months ago all my buddies got mad because it was a rclb, now that I have investes some time and money in it, the all would rather take my truck when we go oiut, lol. I used to have an s10 supercharged, ghost flames, rims, the whole 9 yards, but as soon as I would leave my house i would pass 5 other s10's that all looked the same.
So this time I wanted to be able to stand out from everyone else for once and have somthing unique.

I really do appreciate the input and the compliments
Nick

Wouldn't you like to know

It's not my truck but that is the cluster I want. I don't think it is for sale though, I emailed the company & they told me to ask again in four weeks which I did but I got the same response...check back in four weeks. The company does conversions like the JG and Regency trucks

I also have to comment on the Ultra Clean longbed again. Nice truck and keep the handles if you like em'.

I agree with the colormatched bumpercap/airdam suggestion.

Red/Black/Chrome combo is classic and always looks good!
