Thumbs up FD carbon fiber door handle cover installed

I got these carbon fiber door handle covers installed. They come with the triangle cover for the front mirror coner. Fitment is perfect. No more scratch marks!

Nice! I've seen the door handle overlays before...but never the triangle overlays. Where'd you get those from? These don't look to be FEED parts, and the only other guys I know who make the handle overlays are www.rx7trix.net

And? lol. I have the overlays, and they're a very nice thick weave and high gloss finish. They used to have not-so-nice-looking ones, but the new batch that came out a year or so ago def looks very nice.

BTW...the FEED ones are "cheap overlays" too. They're painted

Yea that's what I heard too. So they're not FEED, not RX7Trix, and not Mark's. Then they are...?

FEED now has real CF handles...it's in the latest edition of RX-7 Magazine. Their previous iteration was painted CF-look on OEM metal handles, not plastic. RX7Trix, iirc, was real CF overlay but kinda stuck on instead of wrapping. Mark did vacuum wrap...nice stuff.

those prices are sky high...parts cost alot more in Japan...plus on that site you can't even buy stuff with credit cards, you have to fax your order in or something, and if you don't read/speak japanese it's a little hard to do
