Door Handle Accents

Wunder was selling door handle accents a few weeks ago. Unfortunately for me they come in two styles, black base with chrome strip and a silver base with a CF strip. Fortunately for me he had a set of each. I picked them both up and took them apart to create the ones I wanted. I gave the new silver/chrome ones to a friend. Wunder shipped them from Singapore and they got here pretty quick.

Thanks Throwdown! Personally I would be terrified of switching the bases and strips myself, knowing my butter fingers. Props to you!

Thanks for the compliments. I really enjoy them because of the rarity. Those handle are extremely rare. It's just a small touch to add a little bit more flavor to the car.

It's different.

I'd like to see them in person.

They may match those fender.

Can you post a side shot farther way?

15 pieces of flare is the minimum.

I'm not a fan of strakes, I am a fan of rare mods. Hence the rare wheels, rare color and rare coilovers (just the most expensive of my long mod list)

Not only am I one of the very few 8's in the country with those handles, I'm probably the only one with that color, since the company doesn't make that setup. I had to put it together myself.

I appreciate little details like this, more than a bunch of overdone mods! Well done!
