Carbon Fiber Door Handles / Shark Fin

Just wondering thoughts about these.

I like the fact that I can purchase door handles separately instead of buying the whole m performance kit.

I'm planning to do a 4D CF roof wrap and was thinking of just using the shark fin as replacement.

Are the doorhandle trim pieces overlays or replacements? I was thinking about waiting to see whether the M2 has glossy CF trim like the F80/2 and getting a set of that lol

This is a good idea. I like the carbon but not so much the Alcantara dash finisher on the m performace kit.

I wrapped the roof of my old E90, and the Montego Blue stuck out a ton, so I covered it with a random Ebay CF shark fin without issue, and it turned out great

This is from China's Taobao (China Ebay) My friend is coming Apr 6th from there so I was going to order some to have him bring it over. If interested, I can order more but I can not guarantee the authenticity of the CF.

Here's the link to my listing/ group buy:
