Not sure how much originals cost BUT......if you are going to replace yours....maybe it is possible to just repaint them.Scratches CAN be filled and sanded like bodywork on a car!
Also,just to let everyone know...I am NOT trying to 'RAIN' on the OP's thread but just inform everyone about possible issues with aluminum ones.....especially after spending some good money on them!
Cheers,

That would be HUGE $$$$...for the material and because titanium is so hard.....machining time takes waaay longer than aluminum.
I am sure the OP,once he asks his friend,will respond the same way!
I was looking at my handles today and because they are curved...the lines of code to machine these is ridiculous(more lines of code...less prep for finished product).And you need a alot of lines of code to eliminate machining lines,otherwise the the shop who polishes/preps it would charge you large.
I am REALLY curious to see if this project happens......would be a very cool piece!

Stacy- them maybe some powdercoated aluminum pieces might be robust enough against scratches, etc. Of course, expensive or not, ya gotta admit titanium would be COOL; and, after all, we are talking PORSCHE here, not Fiats or something! hehehehe

$600, but on back order. Very pricey, but certainly less than titanium.
