Default Leather door handles

Would any of you be interested in having your door handles wrapped in leather? I was thinking of contacting a few places to see if this could be done. The actual door handle part be wrapped in black leather and then the inner plastic part wrapped in leather with whichever stitching you prefer. I know exclusive option sells the inner part for $349. Maybe we can get the actual door handle done for around $350 after core given, for a total of $700 a pair. Plus an additional discount possibly.

I have contacted Exclsuive Option and also a few other places to see what they can do as far as pricing. Please let me know if there is any interest. I can see if I can setup a group buy.

It would look something like this but on our 991's.

I know the OP is interested in having this as
an 'after-market' option from the US firm
'Exclusive Option'. But as an aside, PAG's
Exclusive Manufaktur has in years past done
just such a thing to satisfy the 'Sunderwunsch'
of some demanding & exacting customer. I
have not asked lately if they can still do it via
'CXX' on a new custom ordered Porsche. But
I would think it's possible. It just takes $$$!

Looks good. But I don't think it would wear very well in a light colored leather.

I could be in..... looks good in leather

Another option would be to just paint the door handles black.

I like the idea, however I'm likely going to switch out my GT3 door handles for RS pulls or buy the black/red door handles from Techart.

tbh i'm just following this thread to see how gbree's project goes: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1034...-retrofit.html

seems retrofitting the RS pulls is pretty complicated
