Experiment: Blackout door handle using Tundra handle covers

[NDA431FJ]

While at the dealership last week, I closely looked at the 2007 Tundra and noticed that the door handle looks the same as on our FJ.

Got me interested to do some experiment and order the black door handle covers (base model Tundra) from 1sttoyotaparts.com.

Suprised to find out that they are the same.

Part numbers:
69210-0c010 - Black door handle assembly ($12.59)
69210-0c020 - Chrome door handle assembly ($12.59)

69217-0c010 - Black keylock cover (with hole) ($7.53)
69217-0c030 - Black keylock cover (without hole) ($9.71)
69217-0c020 - Chrome keylock cover (with hole) ($7.53)
69217-0c040 - Chrome keylock cover (without hole) ($9.71)

Wanted to do the same thing. Just figured the handles (being a Toyota part) would be expensive. If you don't mind how much we lookin at? Can't wait to see the final pictures. Thanks for testing this out.

Keep us posted, I am really wanting to do this. Now only if they had the same mirrors.

For that price I'm doing it too. And please update with what tools are needed for the handles. I'm guessing just a screwdriver to pry the keyhole one.

Ha damn good find! Looks pretty good too i imagine the finished result will just as nice if not a great deal better than a rattle can fix.

Note: Removing the cover will damage/break the original.

Not so, check this thread. Blacked Out Mirrors & Door Handles - Finally

Does this mean that if you take all the door innards off, you can get to the key hole to loosen something? I don't want to damage the originals

Could you post part#'s please.

Cheers
