Find me these door handle covers.

Does anyone know who sells dry/matte carbon fiber door handle covers for the R53? I'm looking for a nice matte finish, not gloss.

Found this pic on pintrest, but no info as to who sells any.

Out motoring might have these as well as eBay, typically real carbon fiber is glossy so it might just be carbon wrapped.

Just look around, but a lot of people who did sell covers, either don't anymore or aren't around at all.
I just Plastidip'd mind, it's held up pretty well.

You may have luck taking them to a local vinyl shop. They should be able to get matte carbon fiber material and wrap them for you.

Otherwise, we do have door handle options here for anyone else.

The pic looks like it was originally from Carbonmini.com

I would contact them and see if they offer matte versions of their products.
