How much are the tundra door handles? Has anyone used a clear coat , or does it add too much shine.
Here's another pic of my Black Cherry.
Plan on blacking out soon.
Have really enjoyed moddy the FJ. My mid-life crisis.

Of all the parts that you can "black-out", the easiest by far are the door handles. Seriously,I don't know why people get the Tundra handles. The FJ handles can literally be removed in seconds (meaning under a minute). A couple quick coats of paint and it's done. But, hey.......do what you like.

Very true and a great option. I was just concerned that the spray paint on the handles would scratch and/or peel from so much use.
Your tires stick out alot its going to spray icky stuff on your doors, even on street puddles. I suggest some fender flares.
They do stick out......but not that much. Maybe an inch? I like that look, but you are right, my front doors do get "sprayed" even with the smallest of puddles. How much were your fender flares, and how hard were they to install?

I wasn't thinking it was too hard to get the handles off. Thinking that the factory finish on the handles may hold up better to the constant handling. Started to tape off the bumper wings but decided to see about removing them along with the handles and mirrors. Fell it would be easier to get a consistent finish. Any one book mark the rear bumper wing removal thread??
Thanks

Actually the black ones are molded black, not painted. Never have to worry about scratches or peeling.
