[Eyekutr]

Who has chrome door handles on their gen 6.......ebay sellers have ones with 8 pieces, 2 of which have holes, my camry only has a key hole on the drivers door....so what gives ?? how do they look, do they hold up well, can someone take a close up look of the fit where it comes in contact with the door ??? is there a gap....up close pics requested please....

I bought some a few weeks ago off of ebay for for about $68 including s/h. They were 8 pieces with a cutout for drivers door keyhole and also for front door smart buttons. They seemed fairly nice at first, but once I got them on, they just looked cheap. After a week, I took them off. I didn't take any pics, so sorry. My opinion is don't do it. I couldn't get them off without them breaking in half (cheap coating...supposedly triple chromed...over cheap plastic), so there was no resale value (w/ new 3M). They looked pretty good from a distance, which is why in pictures they look nice, but up close it's a whole different ball game. Also where the pieces on each handle meet up, its at an angle, NOT straight and parallel like you would expect (in other words they touch at the back, and there is a gap in the front). They also make the smart buttons REALLY recessed. I can't speak for how long they would really hold up, but after seeing the cheap coating after they broke in half, I couldn't imagine it would be for very long. Hope this helps somewhat, even though there are no pictures.

I bought mine from Chrome Masters on eBay for $47.95 incl S&H. I think they are just as good as Putco. There may be a slight difference in the gap back to front, but I'm happy with them. They have a nice, tight fit and feel as good as real chrome handles.

Too bad you didn't take a close look at my chrome handles when we met to buy the GS rims from you.
I agreed with Hardpoint that they look good from a distance but when you come closer in person a little kind of cheap.

Jugarum,

can you post close up pictures of yours?

I was planning on getting from ebay. But wasn't sure how good these are as opposed to real chrome handles.

also will these stick on covers stick good on for long time? I mean the handles are grabbed everytime... so won't they come apart after a few months...

I had similar handles on my 04 Tundra Double Cab with no problems in three years.

Couldn't get the pictures to post, so here's a link to them:
