Yeah, they're just the handles from the 968. Its a fairly common mod to the exterior people do a lot (as well as 968 mirrors).

it's not, though...
these are handle *covers* made to "glue over" existing handles...

and, apparently, cover your keyhole. lol

kind of a 968 mod on the cheap. lol

I think you could drill out holes for the locks. i think it could work out okay.

I can't believe anybody (except maybe at a show) would ever pay enough attention to my door handles to make this mod worthwhile.

Depends on what color the car is, on my car (pictured above) I have tried to bring out the redness and lose all the black markings (rear bumper pads, rubber wing, handles/mirrors, front splitter) On darker cars these things dont bother me much...

And no I would never use covers, thats gay.
