I wonder how they would turn out if I scuffed them and painted them red?? It would save me alot of smoothing to do lol. My grill was a pain in the *** (time consuming)

If you want solid colored handles I would just pick up a pre-painted set from your dealer.

If you put the [img]...blah...blah...blah... [/img] tags around the hyperlink, the picture will show up in the thread itself.

The handles should cost you around $60 - $70, check ebay, I got mine shipped for $76.99. IMO, paint match the top bumper pad, get some Cal-vu mirrors, paint matched handles and some type of bed cover and it'll look way better. Truck looks really good now, except for those handles.

the console is sweet...

-about those handles... I am not saying they are hideous or anything because I know of a few guys that have them. I am just saying that they break up the lines of your truck too much. You could put thos handle pulls with some painted buckets and have some cool handles that would resemble the escy handles but you would still be sifferent. the truck is nice man... but to me, they just dont fit it.
