Chrome Fender Trim

Just bought a brand new 06 F150 Supercab, first ever Ford, always GM guy. So far I love the truck. Anyway, I had chrome installed at the bottom by the dealer, basically what would have been two tone paint is now chrome, looks very sharp, at least to me. I would like to add chrome fender trim and have found three brands out there, TFP, PUTCO and MVS. Also want the chrome door handles. Any advice on which of these three brands are the best, good or bad experiences etc. Will all of these install over the top of the chrome I had put on?

Thanks in advance.

I'd be sure to get "metal" whatever you do - handles or fender trim. On my 2005 Screw, I put on Putco plastic chrome handle covers and they blistered and peeled after about 40,000 miles, but that was in about 8 months. The supplier was nice and sent me a replacement set of four, of which I only replaced two. I should look as I may have a set of two (brand new) that I could offload. On my 2007, I went with the real McCoys.

I ordered the TFP, supposed to be stainless steel coated with chrome. Looks like you have chrome on the bottom of your truck too, I am adding the fender chrome as well, hope it's not too much chrome, guess I can always take it off and try to sell it if I don't like it.
