Just looking for input. Exterior wise, the truck is the same as when i bought it a year ago. The handles are the stick on chrome covers and the mirror caps are oem chrome. Trying to decide on...

A) Replace the chrome handle covers with real chrome handles.
B) Remove the chrome handle covers (pray the paint underneath is okay) anf replace the mirror caps with a color matched set.

I've been okay with the appearance thus far because the polished wheels kind of go with the chrome. That said, there's another SLT in my neighborhood in black that has my same wheels and color matched handles and mirror covers. Looks great. All that said, can't make up my mind. Below is a bad pic to give you an idea of current state.

I say ditch the chrome handles and caps. Mine is basically all black minus the grille and wheels.

If you decide to ditch the chrome mirror caps I would be interested in them if they are the real ones and not covers.

Pretty sure they're not covers, I'll probably find out soon.

Did you find out about the mirror caps?? I'm interested in removing mine as well but didn't want to be the guinea pig. :sorrysign:

They are caps, not aftermarket covers. I'm not going to be switching them out right now. Had to put the money to other things before fooling with handles and mirror caps.

So the chrome mirror caps can be removed and will match the bottom half of the mirror and be all black??
