I'd be scared to pull too hard and rip off the pull cord.

Looks very nice.

Joe, Good job as always. Id make it a little longer, and angle it to match the door panel, if it can still function positioned like that.

plus I would angle them to match the angle of the stiching in the alcantra panel.

this would give you alittle more visual room and flow better IMO

good job though

Yeah, I was torn between whether it should sit straight down or angled. The handle actually swivels so it's easy to twist to the side. Something about it angled back just didn't look right though.

The handles were orginally a little longer, but the bottoms would bump into the arm rest part and not lay flat on the back part. As they are, they fall at the base line of the door panel bottom.

I also thought about moving them farther back but the two lumps for the OEM door handle would always be there. The top one is the most visible so it was best to mount it in there to make it seem like it fit. The bottom one is less noticable.
