Ordered these black door handle cup protectors and not sure I like them as much as I thought I would. I set them in without pulling the tape backing to take the picture. Opinions please.

to me they're ok.
nothing too over the top.
i think would look better on a black handle.
I agree on the black handle. Would look good on my lightening blue with blue lettering instead of red.

I am little OCD so the fact that the top section does not follow the handle line, I am out. ;-)

I vote for simpler. Just the cup part. Also, if you have to print Ranger on it, there's a Ranger font that works much better.

Simpler is better for me. I wouldn’t add anything around the door handles...Just my own view.

You can put clear 3m film there. Would look better in my option. This to me screams eBay/autozone type of cheap accessory.

I'd go with clear film over those protectors.

I get it that you’re having doubts and I applaud you for seeking advice in this forum. Opinions can be strong here but it’s not like you asked for advice on a tailgate damper, so here goes.

I notice two things that make it a “No” for me:

1 - They don’t follow the outline of the door handle closely enough for me - maybe they were designed for ROW Rangers?

2 - The font is not “Ranger” font - likely to avoid TM issues but way too far off.

With that said, if you’re okay with them, then that’s all that really matters. Some people don’t like bolt-on style pocket flares but I do and that’s why they’re on my XLT.

You do you.

Thanks all. I appreciate your comments and I have to agree. I think I will leave them off.
