It only comes in that dark red, az beige, silver, black, and dark shadow.Can you JUST get the door handle itself, not the whole casing, so that could just be chrome and leave the rest of it the way it is?

Maybe we'll leave this mod alone then? LOL
Ive never actually seen the whole chrome door handles on the F-150s in person. Do they look bad or something? I agree that these handles look bad *** but whats so bad about the Ford ones that are all chrome? I havent really seen them so I dont know!

ford doesnt make all chrome, they are covers. i think they look tacky, but dont take that wrong, thats just my taste. i like colormatched buckets with chrome handles much better personally

The price for the trim panels was $150.00 (all 4 panels)through Ford. And I got all 5 of the door/tailgate handles through my Ford dealer for $207.00 + tax & shipping ($182.00 door handles + $24.62 tailgate handle). If anyone would like a phone number - just PM me and I'd be happy to provide it.

Could you take some pics when you take off the applicays (panels)? Thanks!
Duke - I should have them here by early next week and will take pics for all of the installation. I've never removed these parts on the F-150 - so it's going to be a learning experience for me as well.
Anybody with a manual able to post "B" pillar removal instructions? My main concern is if I'm going to have to remove the exterior window beltline mouldings or not to get to the B pillar pieces???
Good luck!

some creative photography with LT handles on a regular cab 
$38 drivers
$38 passenger
$20 tailgate
$96 (10% over dealer cost)
If my battery dies or something happens where i have to use the key, i am f**ked.
Install is strait foward, about 30min per side, 10min for the tailgate. I have more tools than sears so install wasnt a problem.
