Changed the look of my door handles

thanks man, they are 26x10 with a 295/35/26 tire.

I don't want to stray too far off topic. But props to you for rolling 26's on SC roads. I LOVE the look, and those are the exact wheels I'd pick. But no way I'd try that around here!

I was running 26’s in Oregon and eventually hit a pothole in the Winter. It was dark and raining hard so I didn’t see it. Bent the wheel. I bought a set of 22” reps for the Winter after that.

So here's my first attempt on the door handles. I started with mazdawg's dimensions and tweaked it a little. I'm still not super happy with them. The edges of the black don't really follow the contours of the handles as well as I'd like. The edges need to be curved to do that. Mine are basically tapered rectangles now. I just did the passenger side for now. It may grow on me. Or I may remove them. In the meantime, I can take advantage of conflicting eyewitness reports, lol.

so I really like how the new LTZ handles look with their color matched inserts. Unfortunately they aren’t the same so I can’t swap them out to my older Tahoe. I came up with a decent alternative. I bought some Avery pearl white vinyl and added my own “inserts” to my chrome handles. I’m pretty stoked on how they came out.

Now that I've read several of your posts regarding what you've done, you seem to always figure out a way to make shit work. Admirable.
