If you have access to a 3D Printer, and possibly a 3D Scanner, you can make EXACTLY what this guy is making for about 30 bucks in materials. OR you can easilly one up him and just make a plastic shell exactly like the GT3 one, remove the factory door handle and replace it with a fabbed "Rod" to connect to the strap and you can have your own GT3 Door Pulls. I'm actually gonna do this except I'm making real carbon Fiber covers for 1/5th of this guys asking price for plastic.
