Hi,
I am looking to add door handle covers (chrome)...I have done quite a bit of research and noticed there is a fairly large price difference ($120's - $350 for the set)...Any advice on which brand to go with? Should it be aluminum or could I get away with the plastic chrome (Like Putco)? The vehicle is a 39 month lease so I really didn't want to put a ton of $ into it, yet I do want it to look good (do like chrome look)
Thanks,
Machines

 

Just pickup the GM chrome handle set $100.

 

DITTO..they look just as nice.

 

R they plastic?

 

Yes the GM factory ones are plastic. But they are inexpensive and look OK. Metal chromed ones would be awesome, but they are a little pricey.

 

Just like littlehummerboy said..they are plastic..I have them...but looks just as good.. ...and hope one day I will be able to afford the chrome ones..they are very very pricely.

 

I ordered the Putco ABS chromed covers off ebay. They look factory and come with the good red 3M tape. Should last a loooong time, under $100.

Same with the mirror covers. I just couldn't stomach paying double for the factory kit which I believe is put on by the dealer anyway.

Same for my roof rack and nerf bars, I saved a sh*tload buying the aftermarket, add it all up I had saved enough to buy a catback exhaust and then some...

 

I went to the dealer and got my chrome door handles, the exact same ones that come on the chrome package - 5 handles for $100 + tax...the mirrors are another story, they wanted $279ish for 2 chrome mirrors...so in that case I may do the sick ons for $80 from ebay. I figure if people are willing to pay almost $100 or even more in some cases for stick ons I should have no problem selling the handles for what i bought them for when I turn the truck in.
