Default Chrome handles or?

F150 Drivers,

Wondering about I should get to make the handles look better. Ive seen two-three carbon fiber ones on ebay and about 700 chrome ones. Which one do ya think looks better...

I'm not a big fan of the all chrome, I think it's too much, I got just the chrome bar pieces on mine, like some of the new F-150's come with, $23 and they stick right on and look great, and i've had them on for 3 months.

Paint body color. Any kind of Chrome or stick-on handles look tacky imo

I like the chrome just on the handle. Pretty soon I am having the rest of the handles painted to match the body color. If you don't cover the whole handle with the chrome, it looks fine, otherwise it looks like a LMC truck catalog threw up on your truck.
