Black door handles and mirror covers

Jksvet · February 28

My 2026 LTZ has the black essentials package. Has anyone converted the mirror covers and door handles to black? I've seen them listed but not feeling good about something that just glues over the existing chrome. I wouldn't mind having them in the body color either of Lakeshore Blue.

TIA

they are painted, not overlays

I did the black covers on my Tundra. The truck was black and the chrome looked terrible. The black covers used 3M VBH tape which is pretty effective stuff. The Silverado we now have is Northsky blue and the bits are black.

I am surprised that your "essentials black" package came with chrome bits.

Mine has the Z71 Sport Edition Trim that makes everything dark or black. The only thing that is chrome on mine is the Z71 badge but that is probably because of the year (2023).

If you look for the black covers, that is probably the best way to change the parts to black with the minimal cost. Painting would be next and then replacing the parts would be the costly, especially the side mirrors.

He is correct, they replace the existing cover. you will need to partially take your mirror apart to install. they replace the top and outer trim piece. I did mine a while back, they look great.

Yep, I think the mirror covers will Be the easy part. Not sure yet what to do on the door handles.

I wish they offered that package minus the z71 package. I'm not a fan of the chrome.

I saw some stick on covers on Etsy that looked pretty good. They have black ones and colored ones. Just google for door handle covers and mirror covers and pretty much any other cover to hide the chrome.
