    After the success of painted-to-code Door Handles for the 3rd Gen Tundra, we wanted to see if there was interest for the 2.5 Gen Tundra!

    They're now priced at $174.95 for any OEM color you want.

    They stick on with 3M tape but they also snap-on using a patented system. They're made by Trim Illusion, but will be painted to color code by us.


    EDIT: They are not compatible with 2020 and 2021 touch sensors

    They only come in a 4-pack, no way around it. But I guess at least you'd some 2 replacements for the passenger side!

    If you're asking Super White II, then yes, we'll do it in that color! We'll do any OEM color

    Will the “touch” sensors still work on the ‘20-‘21’s ? If so, I’m in!

    That's a good question. I'll have to ask Trim Illusion.

    He said they were made by Trim Illusion. I just went on their website and it says they are not compatible with the touch sensors. Bummer.

    Yeah, tell me about it. I'll add that to the original post.

    I made a 3rd voting option in the poll and people can change their vote.

    So on second thought, I think black would look better to match my wheels, and cap. Is there an OEM black color you guys can do?

    They come in "Gloss Black" already, but they aren't OEM. We could paint them in OEM Black color code 202, if you want.

    We're painting them to order, so someone will have to buy them first. But the recipe for quicksand has been pretty on point when we've bought it.

    We've had a sale and he's right here on the forums! So, hopefully, it goes well. I'm going to ask a few questions once it's installed.

    I ordered a set of black ones today. So long as they fit right I'll be satisfied to cover up the chrome on my truck. I'll update this thread with my thoughts on how they look when they get here

    I'll give it to you guys straight up... When we got the parts to paint for our first order, it turned out to be 8 pieces, not 5 like we thought, 4 large, 4 pretty freaking small. This caused labor time to increase. So, we had to increase the price or we'd lose money selling each one.

    We readjusted the price and lowered it from $199.95 to $174.95 after doing some calculations!

    Finally got around to installing my new black handle covers. Really digging how they look. Now once the mirror caps get wrapped in black next week, the chrome delete will be complete.

    So 1 being totally easy it was probably a 2. Pretty darn easy, but gotta be careful when placing the smaller cap piece (the one that stays stationary while the door handle pulls out). I placed one too snug to the other side of the handle and it popped off when opening the handle because the handle rubbed against it too much.

    Just have to place them a smidge away to prevent that. Otherwise totally simple, took maybe 15 min to do all 4.
