Anyone chrome their mirrors/door handles?
Hey just wondering if anyone has some input or pictures of it done hopefully. My mirrors and door handles are black and im wondering what to do with them.

I really like the look of them being painted the body colour like most 4runners out there, but im curious about what chroming it out will look like.

Thoughts?

well I found someone on yotatech with the '02 chrome package.

It looks OK, but its hard to tell since my truck is silver. I think the red definatly looks better with body colour.

2002 4runner chrome package info - YotaTech Forums

Also a page I found with all the part numbers of the chrome package parts if anyones interested.

Chrome is on it's way out. Paint them to match your body color. It's a good mix between sporty and classy.

On ebay there are some chrome door handle caps that go over your stock. Not sure how to link so you can just copy and paste "Toyota 4Runner Toyota Tacoma Chrome Door Handle Covers"

As for chrome mirrors. Go for it, i also wouldnt mind doing the same if the price is right. Hell, if they made a chrome valance for the front bumper id do that too.

2nd both of these guys! Chrome is no longer in... It looks funny, especially if you do your handles. Just paint them the color of the body. That's how most of them came from the factory so it'll look good.

I used to have black door handles way back when.



Made a journey to the junkyard:
