Default chrome accents

i'm thinking of putting some of the chrome handle covers on my truck. door handles and truck bed door handle tooare what i'm thinking. the only thing is that i'm a little unsure about the fact that they stick on over the stock handles. has anyone done or heard anything about them? i don't want to ruin my stock door handles i want to make sure these are gonna stay on. also, has anyone seen any replacement door handles and truck bed door handle that is chrome. i'd honestly rather replace the whole thing then cover it up.

from a distance they look great. they are held on by 3m auto tape. the ones for the mirrors are only have, but the doors seem to look nice. it would be a hassle taking apart the doors to replace the handles so this is a cheap way

Seems pretty cheap to me.. I left the chrome to just my bumper insert and grill.

Kerr, were they the plastic or metal ones? I've seen a few Rams and Daks on the road that had them and they didn't look too bad. I've been going back and forth on getting these myself because I haven't found anything that keeps the black plastic handles black. The main thing stopping me is that once I start using chrome accessories, I feel I'm kinda locked into it for everyting else I want to do with the appearence. That would be a little too much chrome for me.

I bought some polished stainless steel door handles for my truck, stuck em on, and...yeah..they're pretty good. I believe they're made by Bully. I've seen others that cover the entire door handle, but they're about 3x the price. Mine were $25 for all 4 handles.
