Default Door Handle Covers

Has anyone purchased the Carbon Fiber Door Handle Covers from RPI. They apply over your stock handles and have a carbon fiber look. Just curious as to the quality and look. Thanks.

I believe they are a direct replacement. I have a set but not sure what brand they are because I got them from a forum member. For mine I took out two screws swapped handle and put the screws back in. About ten minutes total.

Yours are different the ones I am speaking of are only $20.00 and it says you apply them over your present handles with adhesive.

I would say if your going to do it spend the extra money and get the replacement handles. You will be glad you did.
