I am looking to possibly get some billet aluminum handles for the '06 that I just picked up last Friday. They're made by AMI Industries, and my cost for them at the dealer is about $65. I would get them, but here's my problem. We have 4+ months every year here in So Cal with temps over 100 degrees. So I guess my question is, does billet aluminum get super hot like a regular metal handle would? Does anyone know, or have any experience with this?

 

It'll probally burn the skin right off your finger tips!

No, I have no idea.

 

if u could u should try to get the lt handles they have like rubber on the inside of the grip

 

I was thinking about LT handles but everyone has those. Plus I kinda like the look of the black handle bucket plus the billet aluminum handle. I just dont wanna burn the **** out of my hand everytime I drive the truck this summer.

 

They get hot!!! I saw them in Phoenix, AZ. You could use your shirt to cover your hand when you open the door, lol.

 

Billet does get hot in the sun. I have a billet shift **** in my S-10. I know how hot it can get.

 

Damnit!

 

Keepsome oven mits in your back pocket and you should be just fine

 

Im glad you mentioned that because I was thinking of putting something like that on my truck to. Never realized I wouldnt be able to use my truck for 4 months out of the year because of it.

 

on the shifter is one thing...but for handles? how long do you guys really hold on to them? maybe 3 seconds to get the door open if that? sides..if it does burn your skin off it will grow back!!!....eventually...

 

Ya I heard that they amplify the heat of the sun like 10 times.... so that makes em like 1000 degrees Chris. You should definitely buy my LT handles from me instead

 

You can always get a skin grapht using pig skin. Its very close to human skin. Here piggy piggy.

 

what color and how much for the lt handles?

 

Don't wanna anger RP by discussing money here but they are in the classifieds. But I can tell you they are Silver Clearcoat Metallic.

 

I'd like to have them, but I just don't have the funds right now. If you'll let me "pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today, " I'd be interested.

In reality, I shouldnt be buying anything for my truck, but I did finally get my new decals today and I am contemplating buying the 2.5" AS tonight if the guy can ship it to me in time. We'll see....
