Default Color matched door handle covers

I've seen the chrome door handle covers, but what I'm looking for are color matched door handle covers, or even just replacement handles. I've never seen them before, so I'm wondering if they're even made. I'm looking for grey handles for an '03 quad cab. Anybody ever seen anything like this? Thanks

I've seen people do it on their trucks before, but I think they had the stock handles sanded and painted, or they bought the chrome ones and had them sanded and painted.

Wow....pretty scarey(sp?) [:'(]

That would definately work, but I don't know if I would want to chance screwing up my handles. I'm going to look into how much a replacement set of handles would be (and then paint them), or do as suggested above and get a set of chrome handle covers, then sand the chrome off, and paint them.

If anybody does know where to order already color matched handles, please chime in.

Thanks for the help/suggestions

I would love the same thing on my SRT, but I am not going to sand my plastic handles and paint, nor am I painting a plastic chrome cover. Would also like colored mirror covers.

You would think the manufacturer of the chrome stuff would have colors as well....

Of course, you could also spend a lot more money, shave them and put some poppers on the truck somewhere.
