That's the thing with ebay parts, you can get a good batch or a bad one.

Has anyone come across to an ebay equivalent of these?

I cannot justify the cost on amazon for plastic like that, but I do like they way to look based on Tommy L's videos.

I put them on my car, got them cheaper tho. It's a nice subtle mod to upgrade the interior a little.

What color is your car? I found some on Ebay, similar products listed there show other options:

I think they should all fit the same as it's a fairly simple piece, I recently swapped mine out but I bought them used from a member here. I'd try the one you posted but since your car is the same color as mine you want the paint code A96, not that one.

Try something with free returns.

Thanks Kilabyte you're always very helpfull. I asked them if they have A96. I also found a topic on the forum where people claimed IND's mineral-white is not same as mineral-white. Found comments that mineral-white is hard to match exact shade however those comments where 2014-15. I can buy any color to be honest and ask local paint-shop to match the bumper

A few members earlier in this thread provided pics which revealed this big fin fit pretty well as was the finish. I ordered mine based on these experiences, and while the fit was great, mine had a carbon overlay defect… so mine may have been from a bad batch.

Either way, It’s returnable from this seller and still recommend rolling the dice IMO.

Does anyone have any luck with a good source for carbon door handles that don't cost a ridiculous amount?

In my experience, the IND ones were worth the extra $30 for better flush fitment and color matching. I bought Autotecknic and it bothered me so much.

Bought these same ones! Super happy with the fitment and quality of the weave, I would say 8-8.5/10. The bottoms of it hang out a little due to being a little thicker then dry carbon. But I am NOT even mad considering it's $100 shipped to my door.

Thanks for the link Kilabyte

If you ask for a single strip they'll sell you one for 69 cents. Most Home Depot's only sell them in packs of like 12 or something like that for 7 bucks.
