Replacements can be bought, they can be painted, or there's stuff that is supposed to take them back to black but I'd just as soon paint them either black or the color of the truck

There's a thread in the detail section that is about restoring trim back to black and what people recommend. Replacement handles that I debated getting at one point had led's in the handle and would function with the running lights and turn signals

Meh...just paint them satin black with krylon fusion. All that back to black, or black restorer stuff, just runs down your paint whenever it rains and looks like hell.

That's the route I'm going. Bought 2 cans of it yesterday to get my flares, handles, cowl, bed rails, and maybe the plastic on the back bumper.
