Chrome Door/Tailgate Handles

I am looking for some good chrome door handles or handle covers for my 07 F250. Anyone have any suggestions for a brand? I have looked on ebay, and most people seem to be selling the Putco brand...

I installed the Putco chrome covers on my 07 CC (4 doors and tailgate) and am very happy with them. Just make sure you install them the right way 'round... I have a friend who bought a used SD with the Putco's on it, and they had been reversed when put on, and they kind of catch on the door jamb when opening/closing...

I purchased some off brand on eBay and they fit very well and really look nice on my black paint. To make sure they stay put, I used some of the seal and peel window caulk to stick them on with however, VS., the 3M tape supplied. That way if I do need to take them off (I'm hoping anyway) the seal and peel wouldn't have damaged the OE handles. Ya don't need much. A very small, thin bead has them stuck on very solid.

SEAL 'N PEEL Temporarily seals drafty windows & doors Provides watertight & weatherproof seal. Seals against air & moisture. Easy to apply, and easily peels away. Fast drying For interior or exterior use.

I have the tfp high polished stainless steel covers. They look great. I had a putco one for the tailgate. Flimsy ABS plastic that bubbled and began to pit after a year. I would go with a true metal cover. Look in my gallery to see pics of the tfp covers.

I went ahead and got the putcos, I like the way they look, and my local truck accessory shop will definitely stand behind them if I have any problems. Thanks for your input guys!
