Putco's, set of 4 were like $59.95, add another $20 for the tailgate handle cover. Just the plastic chrome stick on deals, nothing fancy, but they dress up the truck nice. I was going to go billet and replace the entire handles, but had just left my job to take care of my parents, so money was going to be tight and the billet handles are like $150 and up, each!
They are close to three years old, I just hit them with a mist on detailer (too many nooks & crannies for a paste wax) whenever I wash/wax/detail the truck and they still look about like new...

I have the Bully brand, got them at Auto Zone. Set of 4 was $39.95, and the tailgate was $9.95. They are just the stick on kind, but I have had them almost a year now, and they still look great.

Actually, my neighbor got the Bully's at Advance Auto maybe a year and a half ago, they were not out yet when I got my Putco's. The plastic is a little thinner on the Bully's, but other than that they look just as good as mine do...

+1 on vote for Putco. I have them on mine and they look perfect.

I've got the Putco door handles, mirror covers, and tailgate handle covers on my 2007 QC. I love them. Like mentioned above, just a little spray detailer (Ice by Turtle Wax) keeps tyhem shinning. I've used that Ice detailer since it came out and swear by it. No residue, takes about 10-15 minutes to shine entire truck, including wheels.
