Carbon Fiber Door Handle...PICS
Got some chrome door handle covers and had them wrapped in 5D Carbon Fiber. I couldn't find CF handle covers so had to make my own. I wanted handle covers instead of just wrapping the handles, so I could easily pop on and off depending on my mood haha. Now just waiting for my real CF mirror covers and spoiler to arrive to tie it all in. I'm usually not too big on carbon fiber accents and would've normally blacked out these accents but I actually like how the CF ties in the Anthracite color wheels...

Thanks a lot! Maaaaannnn these things aren't going anywhere! I cleaned handles with alcohol and used a heat gun to heat up the handles and the 3M before installing. I tried with all my might and couldn't just pull them off. They also mold to the handles anyway without the tape so they're all good.

Yeah I love white but don't let it fool ya, it picks up and shows tons of dirt too...especially on the bottom where the tires kick dirt up lol. White just doesn't show all the little dust.

I thought at first I wasn't going to like it, but I think it turned out well. Good job. Now go work on your picture taking skills....

Thanks man, trying to catch up to you guys Haha. I definitely have more planned in no particular order: Tint, Black out roof and roof spoiler, Drop, CF mirror covers on the way, front lip, CF spoiler (that'll be it for the CF...don't wanna overdo it haha), painted calipers with Lexus logo, exhaust, also have JDM window visors on the way, will eventually switch from 19" to 20" wheels with custom Lexus centers, Lexus tire valve caps, possibly white tire lettering (kinda scared to do this but it looked good on a few GSF's and F Sports I saw), and I'm sure I'll think of more along the way lol. Making this a slow build so that I will stay enthused for a while...plus the wife gets jealous when I do too much to the car too soon!
Thanks and I totally agree! Even the shop was shocked at how the CF look of the 5D wrap turned out, they normally use a matte CF wrap. Have a pic of the roof wing???
