I would love the LT handles, but a bit too much money for me.

I will let you guys know about quality when I get them. Worse case I send them back and pay the 10% restocking fee.

No, the only part getting painted is the bucket that is already painted black. They only come in certain colors so if you have red for example you would have to have the buckets painted to match your color of truck.

I called about the handles yesterday to find out if they were actually painted black or if that was just a "primer" black on them. And also to see how much it would be for shipping for the drivers handle with keypad, passager handle, and tailgate, they said $75.67 for all 3 shipped. Once the weather here gets straightened out I think that I am going to buy them, unless jpetre gets his and they are just junk.

So jpetre, please let us know how they are.

I just called them again to find out if they were paint or primer, since when I called a couple days ago the lady didn't know. They guy that I talked to today said that they were painted ebony (black) and would match my truck perfectly. Which is good to hear, but I still want to hear it from someone else, and not just a salesperson.

Hopefully, its only a couple of days. But until then we will just have to wait and wonder.
