Paint To Match, or LT handles

I want to redue the handles on my truck and am wondering your guys opinion on the two. I think LT Handles would leave a nice touch of chrome in case I am to get chrome rims, the PTM would be nice too. And don't dog me about the fender flares, don't know yet if i want to put the stock ones back on that would be painted to match or if i want to get aftermarket ones painted to match...

I personally would not put the LT handles on. IMO, chrome doesn't look right on FX4's.

I say paint to match, especially with the body color bumpers on your FX4. If your truck had chrome bumpers, LT handles would look more in place, but they don't mix well with a truck that has body color bumpers IMO.

I searched and I found mostly LT handles PN's, And I don't feel like searching all your 20 billion posts, that's just too many lol... I'll try a couple websites...



I emailed SteveT or some might know him as XLTina on here... and got a price, might just ship them to him and have him paint the handles...

Both would look good IMO..The good thing about the LT's is that they come ready to install,no need to have them painted I like the LT's better because they go with my grille,rims,sidesteps and catback exhaust.

Here's a better pic of the handel.
