'Different' door pulls from Carbon Fiber Element

I haven't seen any interiors here that use 4x4 twill carbon fiber. I've been a fan of larger carbon fiber weave since visiting the Pagani factory a couple years ago - so I decided to have Tony make me a set of door pulls, to see how it looked in the G.

Got your door opened close enough next to the g sedan? Lol jk. Tony did a great job on them. Do you plan on getting any other piece done?

Looks good. But by itself looks out of place

Thanks. I do plan on getting most of the interior pieces done in 4x4, eventually. I do agree that it looks a bit out of place for now, but anything is better than the scratched stock pulls.

As for pricing, I recommend contacting Tony at CarbonFiberElement because as far as I understand, the prices change depending on how many pieces you plan to order.

Looks much better than the 3M DiNoc job I did on mine. :-)

I like the twill CF, but I'm sure it was pricey for them to do it....and for that price, one would think they could/would/should have put the twill flowing in the same direction on the door pulls. Just looks unsymmetrical and off to me.

I normally noticed that but didn't catch it this time. That would bother my OCD ness.

Yeah, weave pattern is very important with CF, but unfortunately I didn't mention it when ordering the pieces, so I have no room to complain. I did quite a bit of work with composites myself, so this does bother me, and I notice imperfections that 99% of people won't notice, but composites are rarely perfect in below exotic price ranges.
