Default Chrome Delete

Got my XLT back in February for a pretty good deal, I wanted a blue without chrome but cheapest one I could find with what I wanted was 6k more so decided to try myself. First thing is covering the wheels - are there any options like a wheel cover or something for them to black them out? Then obviously there is the door handles and bumpers and grill the level it out! Thanks in advance.

It would be easier to buy some 18" Sport takeoffs and sell your chrome wheels.

I used plati-dip on my door handles and mirrors, and Ecoological makes great looking bumper covers covers to hide the ugly chrome. Ordered me a set last week.
Plasti-dip held up well going thru a drive thru car wash and some monster rain storms this weekend. Cheap and easy to repair if it gets damaged, until I can find replacement handles in textured black.

those are NOT chrome. my salesman told me they were BUT they are PVD. be careful what you do with them.

Plasti-dip is an excellent option. See their website. They've done wheels, even entire cars. I did my grill for a while, then just replaced it with a black ABS aftermarket one.
