thanks for this thread - i've seen drilled handles on early 911's (way before magnus "invented" them) and i've been thinking about how it would look for a 356, but i doubted anyone had done that before - WRONG!!! as always, if i've thought of it, it's been thought of already - nice to see what drilled handles look like though - cheers, brad in seattle

I do these all the time on repro handles..

$150 to drill

I can polish and chrome for you as well or do your own.

Or buy this pair already triple chromed for $295.

When you are trying to break the sound barrier with your A coupe, drilled handles are a must. Also recommend lycra underwear.

I think the extra air drag of the holes would preclude a serious land speed record attempt.

Wouldn't they whistle too? That might make them good for chasing deer off the road.
