Default Chrome handes and mirrors

Anyone have chrome door handles and/or chrome mirrors? Especially on a dark color? Wondering what it would look like. my black door handles and mirrors are getting pretty weathered and turning grey. Before I break out the bed spray, wanted to see how chrome would look. I think it might not look bad with the chrome door spears and chrome wheels.....

door handles do it up brother. there is a 3rd gen ram guy sellings all four door handles for $25 in the sales section..chrome mirrors are the exterior mod or factory option that I hate the most! I was thinking about buying the door handle covers and painting them body color since I don't have the ***** to paint my actual handles like Nick did..but they're all yours if you want them! That is if they're still there..

I had a set from Putco. They definitely looked stuck on and I had one blow off at 60 mph. Go with full on replacements. I've been looking at a set of tribal flame style.

I did three applications of Tire Foam and the gray has turned back to a nice clean black color It's lasted a month or two, and this has been the snowiest month (laugh) this year.

You should be able to use the heat gun trick to revive weathered plastic. I think hammer has posted the DIY video for reviving bumpers on a jeep.

I'm sure of the manufacturer, but I think the chrome looks nice.
