cool thanks

 

Very overpriced, wow.

 

Not the best pic should have washed it first, but Mark Koch did these for me, unfortunately I don’t think he is doing anymore parts for the time being.

 

 

If you want carbon fiber door handles, dont get feed, they just repaint them and stamp their name on it. IMO, they're not worth the money. Try and find someone like Mark Koch, and have them make you actual carbon fiber handles. They look so much better. IMO.

 

How do you get in the car?

 

thats what i was thinkin

 

Electric solenoids my dear Watson

 

Now these are the ones those questions should be directed to

there are plenty of companies that make door poppers. for the guys with shaved handles.

 

Aren't you ever worried that they may stop working or the battery will be dead? Looks pretty cool, if I would go so far to have solenoids, I'd just remove the handle all together.

 

For a long time, the hot rod crowd with shaved handle has been putting remote battery terminals somewhere on the car, just incase the battery goes dead, they can still jump start it. Near the underside in back is a pretty popular spot.

 

The answer to that is twofold, I always have the rear hatch and I made a special hood release that is accessible from the nose. (but very difficult to find and use even if you know where it is ) I do plan on removing the rear tumbler if I ever get around to painting the car. And then I will just have broken windows to contend with instead of twisted locks

 

the feed ones are just stickers.

 

First, this is the first I've heard of door handles ACTUALLY MADE OF CF. All the ones I have heard of up to this point were painted or overlays. Good info!

As for the FEED door handles, yea they're a lil pricey, but keep in mind that you're getting 2 brand new door handles in the process. Considering door handles are about $180 a pop new, I think $300 is a damn good deal for TWO new door handles + the CF look.

There's also another option tho...the middle route. I got the NEW RX7Trix CF overlays, which look INCREDIBLE (not the old ones that looked real cheap). I get compliments about them all the time...cuz they've got a real nice weave, and a very thick clearcoat on 'em. Here are 2 pics...

 

Actually its paint.

FDNewbie--Exactly, but people dont pick up on that.

 

shodul ahve filled the lock spot in. looks liek the cf sagged a bit

 

Yea...I woulda went w/ the FEED ones too, but I had already replaced my door handles when I first got the car, along w/ the lock cylinders. So when it came time for dressing up the FD, I couldn't convince myself to spend $300 on new handles when I already had new handles lol.

 

Whats up ramy what you been up to. I think the stickers actually dont look bad at all I might go for them myself since mine are scratched up.

 

Wut up kid....I'm just tryin to make it, know what I'm sayin? How you livin?

Of course I'm gonna say this lol but the overlays look REAL nice in person. Very very nice. Just hit up Brandon...and he'll hook you up

 

Ya I was a little disappointed, he told me not to worry about filling it in myself, and that he would take care of it with bondo, and he didn’t really merge it into the natural flow very well. I am pretty sure mine were the first set like that so he probably didn’t even think of it at the time.

But it is only from certain angles and good light that you can even see it anyway, so I am not really disappointed seeing as he did such a good job. Thanks again Mark

 

those look similar to the rx8's carbon fiber mazdaspeed door pieces.

 

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I've never had the chance to work with CF. How hard is it to cut finished CF? Would it mess up the handle to just dremel out the spot where the locks are? (on the door handles in the pic above)
