Just received some very sweet authentic Italian Leather door handle covers that help cover the small cracking I have in the plastic chrome wrap. I must say I'm very impressed. The leather is thinner then say the vinyl equivalent and very supple. Fit from the attached velcro is perfect. And the color is almost a perfect match to my Aero Blue. These are styled for the C5 Corvette 1997-04. Company is based in Poland and took 2 weeks from order placement to package receipt. Lots of other material and colors with many options for thread count and color, piping, stripes, custom patterns and even 2 tone. Make sure when you order that you select the "GRAB HANDLE COVER" which are longer and NOT the "DOOR PULL COVERS". Pics at top of page show the difference. Hit the plus next to the item (I got 2 ea.) and hit the "select colors and options" bar at the bottom. Highly Recommended!
** Latest version covers the entire exposed handle!

UPDATE #2: FYI - Bob (Bay Cruise) from "down under" had Redline make a custom set of covers that nearly covers the entire pull handle. Pics of the before and after are in this thread @ link #13.

Link #15 shows a pic of the dimensions he used to order these custom made covers, if that's more your style!

UPDATE #3: Another option from the U.K. These are full length leather covers but appear to come only in black w/ a limited choice of stitch colors. They do also make "A" pillar leather covers and manual gear gaiter covers also.
