I made a new engine lid release handle.

I got this crazy notion to replace my plastic engine lid release handle. So I drew it up in cad and had it water jet cut.

Looks great. I have worried for a while about the durability of the plastic one. What metal did you use? Looks aluminum, but could be titanium I guess...
