You do realize the FEED handles are NOT real carbon fiber? They're carbon look, they're a decent clone but you can definately tell the difference.

aren't the feed ones just overlays?

you want someone to cover them ala Mark Koch. Sonix can do them...that is if he still isn't banned for trying to advertise without being a vendor

No they are not overlays, they are painted look.

FYI FEED does now make carbon over lays for your handles. Premolded covers that fit over your handles.

interesting, they actually show a new "REAL" carbon fiber handle kit, and yes, either style replaces the handle itself and the trim surround.

Jason on here is doing some awsome CF work. Check or search for sonix7 I'm sure he can do something for you (if he's already got a set ready for core swap + cash) Jack

So how much for a set sonix? Do yours just overlay on top of existing handles or require a core exchange?

overlay. custom, using vacuum bagging to achieve such nice work. I do need core exchange. I am also working on a new Kevlar Hybrid fabric called Texalium. It is a silver weave, the fabric is treated with an aluminum dust so when laminated it gives off this awesome silver CF look. It is hot, some of you might have seen it on the Jetta in Street Tuner Challenge. PM me if you need my help with these.

No you misunderstood I think, there was a Jetta on Street Tuner Challenge. They installed a silver carbon fiber. Its called Texalium. here is a pic of the cloth. I am eager to do a silver FD with some accents of this. I have it in stock. It is amazing.
