So this is what they look like eh eh?



Is the CF piece an entire direct replacement for the stock door handle or something else?

And if it is a solid piece of CF, won't it shatter or crack more easily?

I think it is a carbon like material or painted overlay, i do not think that they are real carbon fiber

So does it replace the moving loose parts that are weak?

No, they are overlays. Here is a link for real CF.

FEED is not real carbon fiber. its carbon-look.....

The one in the link above my post, ***** man looks like
crap. You can see cuts, open and closing of the weave. If I want to put something nice on my car it needs to look nice, not like a home job--- Now I know to do that lay-up would be tuff, but damn..

$150 + shipping AND core....... looks pretty good but I don't think it'll help keep the door handle more stable...... It feels all loose like it's gonna fall apart, the CF is just a cover purely for looks........
