So I hate the black handles, looking to change them out. I have my step-father (works at a Caddy dealer) scouting for handles for my 2005 Tahoe, just not sure if it's a tough job or not. Anyone know where a write-up or something like this exists? Do I have to switch out the lock cylinder, or is that part of the door and not the handle?

Thanks in advance!

They are a direct bolt on, you will need to use your lock cylinder and it shouldn't take you more than 1/2 hr per door, basic tools

I have the body colored buckets and chrome handle assemblies ready to go in as soon as I get off my dead ass and do it.....bought the set on ebay for $130

Well got off my ass and installed my esky chrome handle set yesterday.....went smoothly, no issues, I like the way they look on the dark color.

That was the last of the exterior mods which are as follows:
esky rack, corners, handles, painted spare tire winch door and front licence plate holder.

All that's left is tires for the esky platinum edition 20" wheels and mounting them up.
