Doorhandle project

After reading the DIY article that Mchadden had on this site I decided that my doorhandles should be the same color as the rest of my truck. (afterall the back ones were) I ordered a set from Sparks Toyota and got going on the conversion. The wife was afraid becuase usually it takes much more time and a lot of patience (which I have very little of) when doing these things. For example the Billet gas cover I put on my HD2500 Silverado- This was supposed to be a 20 minute job. Ended up 4 hours and had to do cutting ,drilling ---you get the idea. Well the door handles were a 5 minute job at best. Everything just came out and went back in like it was supposed to and NO CUTTING OR DRILLING! and they look nice! Also put in a photochromatic mirror with a compass. That was even easier. Although I did loose a screw in the truck somewhere. Found a replacement -- no problem. Here are some pics. These Tundras are soooo easy to work on.
