Door straps instead of handles?
Does anyone have a picture of door straps instead of the handles on an evo x. Like that of a Cayman R. I remember seeing it somewhere a few months ago but cant find it now.
Anyone know how to make this possible in an X?

I'm almost thinking the plastic surround piece to convert and the strap probably weigh more than the plastic handle.
Seriously, hitting up the Johnny-on-the-spot and dropping a deuce before pulling out on the track is better weight savings...or just skip breakfast.

The picture of the CaymanR shows power locks, windows and a speaker installed. So the entire "value" even in the picture posted is oxymoronic.

They do look sweet, but I can't imagine the weight savings that could be gained would outweigh the time and money it would take to get this set up in anything but a track-only car, at which point, why wouldn't you just remove the whole interior anyway??
They do look cool though

Starting with weight, the Cayman R is 121-pounds lighter than a comparably equipped Cayman S. Those weight savings come from just about every part of the car.
On the interior, canvas pull straps replace metal door handles; there are no steering wheel controls and no A/C, which didn’t endear it to many on our staff in this summer’s record heat. Sport bucket seats are lighter and the Cayman R also comes without a radio. But it can be added back in, as in our test car, if the awesome sound of Porsche’s flat six is not enough music for your ears. A bigger chunk of that weight savings comes from new aluminum doors which save 33 pounds. They’re just part of the purpose built exterior look of the R, which sits 20-millimeters lower than a Cayman S. Up front, the revised front fascia features reworked intakes as well as splitter-style lowers.
