New member looking for some help...

So I've had my first Tacoma now for 3 weeks. Not my first Toyota though but I've only had trucks now since '02 as I'm an avid outdoorsman and spend most of my free time up in the bush of Northern Ontario.

I picked up a 2017 Off Road Double cab in Blazing Blue Pearl and I've been modifying it slowly since I picked it up.

To date I have:
- blacked out all the exterior chrome and put the tailgate inserts with the NoxLux overlay's
- BakFlip MX4 tonneau
- TRD Pro grill instead of the chrome monstrosity
- Matte black EGR vent visors
- Colour matching decals on the door sills and glove box insert
- Matte black vinyl dash kit

What I'm still wanting to do is replace the interior door handles from the chrome to the black as well as a brush bar.

From my research so far, I found the part #'s for the black door handles are
Right - 69205-0R030-C2
Left - 69206-0R030-C2

From what I have seen though, the handles are described as for "without keyless entry" on all parts websites. So as I have the keyless entry with the Smart Key system, will these work or not?

As for the brush bar, on my old Sierra, I had the Westin HDX, and almost 2 years ago I smoked a black bear doing 110km/h with no damage to the truck. I have been looking at a few different bars, but I was hoping to get some input from others here who have installed them and their opinions. Also, I was wondering is it required to remove the factory skid plate to install? I have been contacting the various manufacturers for several weeks but have yet to receive a single reply.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help and input! I will get some pictures up of it when I can.
