Someone on here did do that a while back, covered the inside handle in carbon vinyl...

Didn't really appeal to me but I just don't like.the carbon fibre look, I want to re-spray mine but I can't find a rubberized spray to match it lol

If anybody does know where to get some rubber spraypaint in that colour I think that would be best, that little handle trim is pretty dear to replace IIRC

looks good scot, how did you get the door handles done and the steering wheel bits?? looking at doing mine as they are scratched to hell. How did you get the space where the rear vents were?? wouldnt mind doing that to mine.

Wow scotsDragon yours looks very well done. Have to say as much as i dislike carbon fibre usually your handbrake looks very very smart!!

How come you dont have rear vents?

Does the vxr not have carbon affect dash and door inserts??
