Small Details, Big Difference
When you are putting together an exterior build on your ute, it is the small things that pull everything together. You might already have fender flares, body cladding or a bonnet scoop fitted, but if the door handles, tailgate handle and light surrounds are still factory chrome or unpainted plastic, the overall look falls short. Those little bits of contrast break the flow and make an otherwise clean build feel unfinished.
Swapping to matte black door handle covers is one of the simplest and cheapest ways to fix that. They sit over the existing factory handles, covering the chrome or painted surface with a clean matte black finish that matches the rest of your accessories. The change is subtle on its own, but when combined with other matte black upgrades it ties the whole vehicle together.
This category also includes door handle bowl inserts, which sit inside the recessed area around each handle. Beyond the visual upgrade, these actually serve a practical purpose. Every time you grab the door handle, your fingers, rings and keys make contact with the paint inside the bowl. Over time that leaves fine scratches and wear marks in an area that is hard to touch up. Bowl inserts protect that surface and keep it looking clean.
For the biggest impact in one purchase, the headlight, taillight and door handle combo sets are worth a look. These bundle the door handle covers with matching headlight and taillight surrounds, so you can black out three areas at once without buying each piece separately. If you want to take it even further, check out our dedicated light covers page for additional options.
What Is in the Range
There are a few different product types in this category, and understanding the differences helps you pick the right one for your vehicle.
Standalone door handle covers are the most straightforward option. These are moulded covers that clip or tape over your existing door handles, converting them from chrome or body colour to matte black. Some models are available in keyless entry versions, which have cutouts for the keyless button so the cover does not interfere with your vehicle’s smart key system. If your ute has keyless entry, make sure you choose the keyless version to avoid fitment issues.
Door handle bowl inserts are a different product altogether. Rather than covering the handle itself, these sit inside the recessed bowl where your fingers reach in to pull the handle. They protect the paint from scratches caused by fingernails, rings and keys, and they add another layer of matte black detail to the doors. We stock these for the Ford Ranger PX (2011-2020) and LDV T60 (2019-2024).
Headlight, taillight and door handle combo sets are the most popular option in this category. These give you matte black covers for the headlight surrounds, taillight surrounds and door handles all in one kit. It is the fastest way to black out the front, rear and sides of your ute in a single purchase. We carry combo sets for the Holden Colorado RG, Nissan Navara NP300, Mazda BT-50, Ford Ranger PX2, LDV T60 and Volkswagen Amarok.
Exterior cover sets take things a step further with 5-piece kits that cover even more trim areas. The Holden Colorado RG (2012-2016) has two versions of this set, giving you extensive matte black coverage across the exterior.
Tailgate handle covers and fuel tank cover sets are also available for select models. The tailgate cover is a popular standalone pick for owners who just want to black out the rear handle, and the fuel tank cover set for the Mitsubishi Triton MR bundles the door handles with a matching fuel filler cover.
Vehicles We Cover
The range covers the most popular Australian utes, with options varying by model.
The Ford Ranger has the most variety. We stock keyless door handle covers for the PX3 (2018-2021), a tailgate handle cover for the PX MK2 (2012-2019), door handle bowl inserts for the PX (2011-2020), and a full headlight, taillight and door handle combo set for the PX2 (2015-2020).

The Holden Colorado RG is covered across both the 2012-2016 and 2016-2020 generations with exterior cover sets and combo sets. Mazda BT-50 has combo sets for both the 2012-2019 and 2020-2024 models. The LDV T60 (2019-2024) has a combo set and bowl inserts. The Volkswagen Amarok (2009-2022) has a headlight, taillight and door handle combo set. The Mitsubishi Triton MR (2019-2022) has a door handle and fuel tank cover set. And the JAC T8 has a tailgate handle cover that also fits the Ford Ranger Wildtrak T6/T7 (2012-2020).
Fitment and Ordering
Installation across the entire range is quick and easy. Most covers are made from quality moulded plastic and attach using 3M automotive tape or clip directly onto the factory trim. No drilling, no cutting and no modifications to the vehicle. The whole process takes minutes per piece, and once fitted the covers stay secure and rattle-free.
The main thing to watch when ordering is whether your vehicle has keyless entry. For models like the Ford Ranger PX3 and Nissan Navara NP300, there are separate keyless and standard versions of the door handle covers. Choosing the wrong one means the cover will block the keyless button, so take a moment to check before adding to cart.
All door handle covers and cover sets ship Australia-wide with free delivery to major metro postcodes. Orders before 12PM go out same day.
