Carbon Fiber Door Handle Covers
Anyone have these? Pics? Any interference with comfort access?
https://autotecknic.com/products/aut...rim-set-f90-m5 My ride is black and I have a lot of CF already including side skirts, mirrors and fender gills (both pieces). So debating if this would compliment or overdo it. . . |

I think the level of CF on your car is perfect and these are overkill a bit. They are obviously genuine CF, but they look like they cam from eBay. Tone is hard to convey in the internet sometimes. I don't mean to come across as harsh — I just think your car is perfect as is!

I personally think (exterior) CF is definitely at home anywhere it's a true aero piece; lips, diffusers, spoilers, side skirts, even grilles and mirror caps even though they're not aero and on the M5 with a CF roof, though also not truly aero, I could even be good the shark fin cover. Your car looks so put together based on your most recent photos. Any updates since those?

OK, some pics after installing my carbon fiber grill surrounds yesterday.( Gotta love that one white piece of lint that snuck its way into the photo!) For those interested, my roundels and wheel centers were from Etsy solid black and I just stuck some cf stickers on the recesses. Actually holding up nicely now for a couple months. I haven’t bothered yet tucking the tail pipes in some as even though they are too far out, doesn’t look quite as bad with the new diffuser. Likely will though next time car goes on rack. Also, I have a KW lower kit I might install spring when I get summer set up but not sure it even will need it? Unseen are MAD secondary, racechip,Dinan turbo inlets, autotechnik air scoops. Also, gotta say that despite the controversy on those rear cf fender extenders, I really love them!

Maybe license plates are covered due to fear of the license plate information being used for some nefarious reason, even though they ride around with the plates uncovered. |
