Cheap handles for someone looking to color match. These are not mine, so use CL to contact

Real cheap. So apparently I learned today that tungsten is the chevy name for iridium. I never knew that. It explains why I never see iridium that much.

 

Just want to thank you martha3065 for posting that craigslist post. I contacted the guy and bought the tungsten / iridium door handles for 50 bucks. I kept on seeing them around for 200+ dollars. So im pretty happy, i got the mirror caps as well. Can't wait to change them up.

Thanks for the compliments! The tires are Toyo M/T 33x12.5x18 and there is no rubbing at all. The wheels are Gear Alloy 726MB Big Block with 0 offset. It has a Readylift leveling kit on the front.

Man Im glad you replied, truck looks great. Will be getting Nitto Terra grapplers 35x12.5 next week with a 0 offset. Was worried they would stick out of the side too far. Do you have any issues off road with throwing rocks into the paint? Was going to get fender flares if it happens. Thanks

Love the color of this truck. Put the bars on and it keeps alot of nicks out of the lower part of the paint. Anyone put fender flares on? Have always had flat black flares but not sure how it would look against the paint.

So question to you guys. I just got some tungsten door handles and they are not exactly the same color as iridium. Is tungsten just a shade or two lighter than iridium? If that is the case, then how can they have the same color code of GXG?

Depends on which on you get. People say it is and I've seen 1 or two pieces match up. But the again I've seen and bought parts that or not. I have have a set of tungsten door handles that don't look like my iridium. It's a few shades lighter in color.

I remember googling it before, they both share the same color code.

I finally got it back last week. I bought the tires and rims a month ago and just had to wait until I was off work to get the lift done. I got a 6" procomp lift. Rockstar 2 rims with Nitto Grapplers, 35x12.5. I took the plastic parts and the star off the rims and painted them Tungsten metallic that I got made at a paint store. King of hard to see but in the sun it looks awesome.
