Received my Rave painted door handle covers a couple of weeks ago. I'm not really impressed my them. Color (Underground Grey) is a hair too dark, and the fit isn't great. They look like the $50 Chinese covers with a paint job, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they are. Plus, they arrived 3 weeks past the published lead time. I guess I expected more for $355.

The covers are probably the same ones I bought on eBay for $20. I spent a lot of time hunting for vinyl that would match and came really close. It’s not perfect and my wrapping skills are subpar, but it does the job. The shade changes with the light and angles anyway, so an exact match isn’t necessary. Eventually, I’m hoping to pick up some used door handles from either a Tacoma or a Tundra.

What vinyl did you use? I couldn't find a good match.

Figured I'd post my progress on my blackout build for my '24 WCP Limited.

Was between the TRD Sport & Limited when I was buying my truck, but was never a fan of the scoop. So, I needed to figure out how to get rid of the chrome, and quickly

After 3 months and approximately 5K miles, love the truck. Plan on pulling my trailer to Moab (from Chicago) next month and we'll see how she does on her first true long distance towing test.

Done so far :

-> OE TRD Pro Heritage Grill w/ Heretic 20" Lightbar
-> OE Black Lower Bumper Trim
-> OE Gloss Black Mirror Caps
-> OE Badge Blackout
-> Blackout Door Handle Covers
-> OE TRD Skid (Aluminum)
-> 18x8 RAYS ALAP-07X +32
-> Wildpeak AT4W 265/70R18
-> KYO-EI +10mm Wheel Studs
-> Ark Mudguards
-> Bedstep
-> Viofo Dashcam
-> Lomax Urethane Tonneau

Left to do :

-> Roof Crossbars (maybe a rack)
-> Blackout Tailgate Lettering
-> Blackout Tailgate Handle
-> WCS Antenna Install (if I can ever figure it out)

Im looking at buying a limited and blacking it out. Was wondering if you can answer some questions. Minus wheels and tires ball park cost to do this in parts? Any hassles putting in parts? Any reason why you didnt go with wrapping them? I was thinking of going the route of wrapping the grill and front bumper. Didn't think about replacing parts as an option.
