Interior/Exterior Full door handle CF replacements, or overlay?
Full door handle CF replacements, or overlay?
Given that the price is right...which would you prefer to see?
Wet-lay Carbon Fiber overlays are out there...but if presented with a choice how many of you would have an interest in direct door handle replacements instead? All would be made using dry lay-up....pre-impregnated carbon fiber, by a very well known company.
I do know that changing the door handles out requires removal of interior door panels to access the screws...and dealers charge quite a bit for that. (Can be done as a straight forward job yourself though)
Or do most people just think the overlay's are enough? (Kind of defeats the whole purpose of going with CF though....)

I know I saw a set of carbon interior handles done by Jim at roguese7ens.com
and of course he's done a lot of exterior overlays too.
I looked at his new gallery just yesterday and I think he has a couple of the handles pictured.
