    That's good to hear... I think I've got a weekend off here coming up so I'm gonna do them myself as long as the mirror caps... Just glad to see they are still holding up... I suppose if I mess them up I could always take to a prof but might as well try a DIY project

    yep thats what I figured... and hey did you take yours off or were they bought brand new and done..... I have one or two that the adhesive is starting to come off anyway so shouldnt be bad to get off.... just not sure about the others....

    and what did you do about the tailgate? I dont know if I know what LT tailgate handles look like... I dont know If it would seem weird with all PTM door handles and then tailgate is big chunk of chrome... humm

    And the main reason I think I'll do it myself is that I really haven't worked for my "company" in 4-5 weeks... 2 weeks farming for my pops.... but getting a little bored and figured this would give me something to do during my down time... and I a hell of a lot cheaper than LT handles that are PTM from anywhere online.... IF it works

    It was $350, that included painting the flares and handles and installing the flares

    Yeah I had a shop do mine since they already had the flares, they were a real pain in the ass getting them prepped, cause you have to do it good because if you dont theres some chemical in the chrome that does not sit well with the paint and causes it to be soft, so you have to make sure you sand it real good
