Which looks better -- chrome handles, or black?

[KMeloney]

Hey all,

Found some black door handles on eBay, and just had them installed. I THINK I like the black look better, but I'm just not sure (I've recently removed the Esky rack, and have been enjoying the less-chrome more-streamlined look).

Which do you prefer? (For the record, the truck is REALLY dirty in the black-handles pic, but try not to let that sway you. I'm going to wash the truck as soon as I can, but it's freezing here at the moment.)

IMO the chrome because of the chrome mirrors, roof rack, and sides.

Id go with chrome as long as you dont do the escalade steps too..Than is a lil much!!!But if your gona put rims on than black...

...But the roof rack ISN'T chrome. (And, I may ditch the chrome mirror covers, but one's covering a cracked housing at the moment. )

Personally, I kind of like just that chrome strip down the side being the only chrome -- but, I'm just not sure yet. It's only been like this a day...

Thanks for the reply.

i like the chrome.. it distracts and works with the chrome side molding.. and i personally HATE chrome.. but.. i think its better than the black in this case

chrome indeed, will look pimp when you get chrome 22's on it

I'd stick with the chrome handles in this case unless you remove all chrome pieces from it.

On a side note... what happened to the Gen 3 Eagle Eyes that you had?

Dammit! LOL I think you guys are right. I don't love the look at the moment. I think I prefer the chrome handles, too.

Well, I MAY wait until I can wash the truck before I decide once and for all. Right now the truck looks almost two-tone, with everything under the BSMs looking gray, and everything above black(er?).

Thanks for the input!

Still have the G3s in my garage... Playing around to get the exact look I'm after. It's nice that some of these pieces are so easy to swap out.

Blueflame -- You're right! Would really like to go with 24"s though.

sick with 22's, and BAM with 24's

Personally I like the black. Are the handles textured black or painted black?
