Color matched exterior door handles - part numbers #?

[Slappy]

Hi. Has anyone figured out how to swap the limited handles out for body color OEM handles?

heat , hair dryer , heat gun (but b careful over kill) stock covers are held in place with a hot glue substance
Rave has them in gloss black plastic & u can have them painted in any Tacoma color .
heat & pry off , leave the glue the new covers come with 3M adhesive stripes like the badges do & stick to the glue , easy peasy
the Rave look exactly like OEM Toyota parts right down to how they are packaged and probably are from the same manufacture

The Rave install video doesn't have you take the chrome off, they're just overlays

i had my wrap guy pull my silver ones & stuck on the new black ones . I was there when they did it
couldn't see how they just covered the stock silver as the new blk Rave & silver stock were exactly the same part except for color . thick & formed
not like a thin logo badge black cover either
again they look like the exact OEM door handle part

There are several Tundra videos showing how to do this, and I'm sure the Tacoma is similar since it's mostly built from the Tundra parts bin. It's disappointing because, for the 2008–2021 models, it's literally a five-minute job to do all four doors.

I have no desire to pop door panels just for a color swap unless I can find the handles for cheap down the road. That said, I have the overlays that others are talking about. I got mine off eBay for about $20, and based on the descriptions, they’re most likely the same as the others. I plan on wrapping them. Now, I know some folks will want to comment on how the wrap will fade, etc., but I'll keep those concerns in mind.

To wrap things up, I’ve researched extensively for wraps that match SS Red (3U5). They don’t exist, but you can get pretty close. The only option for an exact match is to paint the parts. I have a nice collection of red wraps in various shades, so I see a future with a lot of red stuff.

I wonder if the front and rear handles are the same form factor. I'm finding infuriating that the touch lock controls aren't on all four handles... Like pretty much every other vehicle on the road
