What are you doing for door pulls?

They make their own replica CSL door handles. Not listed on the site. Just have to ask to order those via email

I saw them post the molds on their instagram a while back... what is there pricing for the handles if you don't mind me asking?

$500

$500

So half of OEM price.
Seems fair, insanely so..

I mean, Karbonius makes some sweeeeet carbon products, it's not OEM, so the build already half-baked, paying $1k for OE CSL handles isn't going to make my Karbonius panels that much more desirable unlike OE CSL which seems to have gone to the moon at $8k+ for them.

Oh, totally agree.
I have their roof and airbox, and as somebody who hates the OEM CSL price gouging the door handles were a bit of a mental block in my consideration of the interior cards.

Post pics of your install once you get the pieces!

Also in for an install DIY and pics. Curious if any modifications need to be done to the door inserts themselves. What do you plan to do for the mirror wiring?

Nice....nearly there! At least it's attainable, even as a paperweight until you can swallow your pride to order the panels....I just....can't. Well, I don't want to. If my M was like 12k miles on the OD, then sure, go full CSL crazy, but with 85k miles, I'm content with 2nd best option.

my understanding is that the airbag needs to be disabled. So I'll talk to the shop about that before tackling the install. And then require the mirror so it comes through the center console.
