Default chrome cover parts

I'm looking to get some chrome cover parts for my 2011. I've checked eBay but there are all kinds and some even has universal fit which sounds ridiculous, where did you guys buy them?

I'm only interested in the door handles, rear trunk hatch handle and the side mirrors

Thanks, any info would be awesome

Look for the legit Rumion parts. However, I do believe that certain years of the Lexus ES300 use the same handles and they're chrome.
Mirrors and rear garnish are Rumion, though. ScionPro have some stainless window trim and rubber molding covers.

@ xseveredveganx and CIONIDE

Thanks but I've seen those links. I was actually looking for some knockoffs that will fit as covers, I don't wanna spend a great deal on these

If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all...

eBay has plastic "chrome" knock-offs of all 3 items you listed in the OP.

Considering that I spent $170+ on my JDM chrome tailgate garnish and then months later found out about the knock-off for less than $50, I'm kinda kicking myself about buying the real thing lol

I've found quite a few over the years. lol

I'm working on putting a list together of part numbers that will work to replace our handles with chrome ones. I'm looking around and it appears that there are tons of chrome handles that should work as replacements for ours. Lexus RX330/350, Avalon, RAV4, Highlander, Camry are all possibilities. Just have to look a bit closer. Just give me some time to get with my parts guy and take a look at a couple of handles.

@ CIONIDE
I've looked at eBay and I found a full page of handle covers that saids they fit the xB, and all different kinds of cars as well. thats why it's too confusing

@ Scream
Are they OEM covers? or just knockoffs you're looking at?
