chrome door handles

I noticed a few guys have chrome door handles . I have a white laramie and think they would look better than the black ones. Chrome would match the moldings. any help? are they factory?

definetly would look better than the black. You need to get the tailgate handle cover too.

I think they would look much better than the black assuming you have chrome rims? Black handles would be best with black rims (i like them to match)...My handles are made by Putco, they are high quality chrome plated ABS plastic that is stuck on with heavy duty double sided tape, i just cleaned the handles real well than lined the covers up and pressed hard..this is the second truck i have with them and i have had no trouble with either them falling off or chipping and they stay nice and shiny..aside from these stick-ons they sell actual replacement billet handles with different patterns and such (just FYI)

does dodge make them for their sport models or do they color match handles with their trucks. I know gmc was doing that at one time.

Iv had them on my Silver 05 for about a year.

I have the stick-on ones, but they have or are falling off. Its easy to get some 3M double-sided tape at an auto store for them, but one of these days Im going to get full billet replacements...theyre kinda spendy though

Where can I get a set of the billet door and tailgate handles? I'd prefer to stay away from the stick on covers due to the issues I'm having with the window vent visors.

I think they look shape but have heard the the Putco Stick on ones create problems if you use your key to get into the truck. They protrude out just far enough that the key doesn't fit 100% and may NOT unlock your door (if you use the key to do that).

I haven't used my key in 2 years, just the remote.

But, has anyone with the door handle covers had this problem?
