chrome handle on red fx4

I want to buy a chrome kit (handle, gas door and upper mirror cover) but I hesitate between the handle only or the complete kit (handle and contour). Which of these two model are better on my FX4 SUPERCREW 2005 red with a chrome westin bull bar.

model one :




or model two :



tanks for your opinion.

I like the top set myself and have had them on my old 04 Fx4 SCrew - now I want them on my new truck!

never have been a fan of model 1 at all. i think it looks cheap and gaudy. i think model 2 would look awesome if you get the rest of the handle painted red to match the truck. so it would similar to the Lincoln mark LT handles

not for the model 2 the rest of the handle will remain black

i just put option 1 on my red 04 if you ptm the buckets go with 2 if not go with 1 it will not look right with red truck, black buckets, and chrome handles it will look like you went to a swap meet and just pieced it together

not necessarily, because he has the stock tails and the only the chrome lever would flow with the white part of the taillights and his step bars, and he also doesn't have the chrome vent visors

Look at HighOn22s truck. I Don't like putting aftermarket chrome on trucks but his are done just right. They're like option 2.
