There are many ways to add flash to your truck, but some of them are time consuming, expensive or overpowering. Then there’s a product such as Grippin’ Billet door handles. Grippin’ Billet handles will not only add a little sparkle to an otherwise bland part, but they will do so in an easy way without breaking your budget.
For years, OEM manufacturers have tried to make the handles of their vehicles blend in (with the possible exception of Nissan and its new 350Z), yet still be easy to operate. While there is something to be said for the mono-colored design found on most vehicles, it is not always inspiring when it comes to looks. It takes the correct package to balance it all out. That is why some folks add stock handles of assorted designs from other vehicles, in which the entire bucket and the handle are sometimes chromed. This, too, can be a bit much for some people.
That’s where Grippin’ Billet comes in. The company has come up with a handle that is installed into the stock bucket. This way, the handle is the only part of the assembly that is chromed, so the overall look is not too much for most tastes. In addition, the company offers many types of handle designs. You can get two types of flames, holes, swoops, a split design—you get the idea.
We were on hand as Grippin’ Billet employee Charley Henley installed a set of billet handles on this 2005 Chevy Tahoe. These particular handles featured a “ball-milled” look. For a better idea of the different styles the company offers, check out its website.
