Default Carbon Fiber door release

Does anyone know of a manufacturer for a carbon fiber interior door release (opening) handle for a 997.1?

Also can you retro-fit the cloth release pull from a .2 to fit in a .1?

Thanks,
Mark

MACarbon sells the door pulls. I have some of their stuff. Top notch, and matches OEM weave.

The weight savings on that mod will make a huge difference on your lap times. Think about how much that money would have weighed in your wallet.

I know you messing with me so I will not berate you -- i prefer the cloth pulls and they should be standard on all RS variants... I did it because I like it, not for weight savings and lap times... sort of like you shaving your vagine, that is not performance related... you just like it.
