Oh yeah, quick question. Is the weave 1x1 or 2x2? It looks 1x1.

Okay guys, heres an update on the handle. It looks like the only way we can work this is through core exhange. The door handle you see on the ASUKA car is not just a overlay. There is a process of installation that makes the handle look very natural to the car. If the overlay was just applied to the door handle, it wouldnt look as nearly as good. I am not quite 100% sure what the process is but this is what ASUKA is telling me. I think the only way we can get this going is by doing a core charge/exchange.

I'd still be down with the core charge. I'd have to be refunded b/c I daily drive my Z. They're probably going to have to buy a couple sets to start this up.

im wondering if you cant open your doors with out the handles then you would have to send one handle at a time but im sure theres a way to pop the door with no handle and not having to climb through the hatch..

and is it hard to remove the handles? basic tools?

We are trying to work out a way where transactions can go smoothly so that you are not without a door handle. What we are discussing is that we would do an intial core charge and when you send your stock door handles in we would refund the core charge.

I like the front and the sides but IMO, the rear looks like it was just slapped on there. It would look alot better if there wasnt such a drastic change into the transition of where the rear bumper meets the rear lip.
