Default Changing RS/R door pulls

Anyone know how complicated it would be to swap these out for a different color?

I'm trying to decide whether to have the factory do it in post-production or have my local dealer do it. Saves me a pile of cash doing it at the dealer as I'll have to swap belts to match as well.

Thank you sir, I've been assured it's an easy job and looks that way as well.

My Wife hates the cloth handles but I am happy because this car is for me not her. I think over the last 5 Toys I have had she maybe has been in them a total of 10 times.

Thank goodness she does not like to Golf also -

My dealer changed from silver to the red from the GT4 (on my RS).
Can't find the invoice but it seems to be pretty easy.

I just like saying "because racecar" when people ask me why those are there.

Really?

But I agree that red pulls make more sense than silver ones, by example.

Never noticed a sticker with the track layout on the door. Very cool. Amazing how much more these guys have to do in terms of controlling throttle maps/brake bias/ etc while they drive.

I wouldn't mind having real door handles. The straps are a little silly.

When I swaped straps I thought that It would have been better to have real handles. They are easier to use.
Today I don't think about the straps any more, I'm used to them. (Aesthetics is another question)

Not very complicated. I had my dealer do it for my GT4 (which has identical door pulls as on a GT3 RS) and it cost a little over $200 for labor (I had bought the pulls from a new GT3 RS and there is more to them than simply the strap).
