Default CF handle covers arrived today

Today my CF door handle covers arrived. Jan K made these for me (see his 900KG 951 thread). I am really happy with them, as Jan does great work. I think they will make a great accent piece to the car, and will have a subtle impact. I am not into doing anything to radically change the look of the car as I think Porsche got it right with our cars, but this shouldn't take away anything, and IMO gives the door handle a clean and purposeful look. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but I am happy with my choice.

I plan to take the handles off the door to fit the covers, and will replace the rubber gaskets while I am there. I will post some pics of install and result when I get a chance

Sorry for quality of the pic, as it was shot on iPhone.

They would be cool if you painted them.

I'd paint over them red just enough to still see the carbon weave beneath

These are not going to be painted. They are covers purely for cosmetic/bling value. Anyway I got them fitted today. I took the door trim off, with the plan of removing the handle to fit them but it was too big a task. I ended up fitting them with the handle only part off the door. I am happy with the results
