Default Anyone install perforated door handles on their 993?

Hello! Was considering installing a perforated (hopefully that's the right word?) door handle on my 993. I see it often on older outlaw builds and am intrigued if it would work with the 993 look.
Thoughts?

This appears to be one of those subjective type things. If you like it, buy it. But it really serves little purpose other than it looks different and might save you 0.02 ounces of weight with the holes drilled.

How much does it cost?

As part of an overall lightweight theme I think it's cool.

Otherwise pass.

Here's the car...
Factory rear seat delete.
Half cage
Getty ducktail
Bilstein coilovers

Probably more for looks for me I think?

That looks like a long hood handle. Looking at them, they look to be the wrong shape for a 993.

Pass on the door handles. But some RED seat belts would look dynamite. Your car looks fantastic.

Correct. If I did this, I'll need to track down someone who does 993 sized handles.

Or just take your existing 993 handles and drill holes in them...

I too was contemplating this mode before my 993 got totaled. (not my fault) My plan was to source a set of 993 handles and drill them myself. Best of luck, car looks great too.

Great looking car. Factory rear swat delete is very cool, as are the white gauges and the graphite shifter and handbrake.

You’ve got the DAS roll bar, so why not complete the package with a pair of pole positions and a set of Schroth 6 point harnesses. Darn, I wish I could fit in the pole positions...

This pretty much seals it. I'm gonna have to get a duck at some point...

Yup, seats are in the works. I would want a seat with recline, possibly doing a vintage Recaro seat? Looking at doing something interesting to the seat inserts, maybe some type of houndstooth pattern color or something else interesting..
6 point- getting my head around drilling the floorboard to get the mounting points installed..
