Default carbon fiber door handles

anybody using these? would there be any fitment problems? for some it might be ricer but i have lots of cf parts on the car (seibon hood, seibon wing, cwest mirrors, mastergrade door panels...)

the car is sebring silver. i also have black rims on the car so i dont think it'll stick out too much

what do you guys think?



this is how it will look on my car





i don't think it looks too bad...

i would really appreciate if you guys can post your opinions. a cf hood also does not cut the down time of opening the hood but we put it on either ways

i would be afraid to crack this. carbon is strong but a door handles do wear down. never seen these before.

I personally wouldn't do it on a silver car. Maybe on a Berlina where it wouldn't stick out.

If you have carbon fiber doors and use the painted metal door handles - it looks like shit. These handles are the perfect solution.

I think if you have painted metal doors, the handles should match.

Big CF parts = weight reduction; small CF parts = bling.

IMO, the CF handles don't look bad on your car. Some might call them rice, because they don't really serve any purpose (it's hard to claim weight reduction, unless your whole car is already stripped), but who cares?
