That’s a good price for a very nice looking handle.
I have tried machining various variations in the stock theme, and i know it’s not inexpensive in time.

I’d have that handle as a door handle. I might then swap the door handle to the a pillar. 

Only because it’s a little nicer to the head . I hit my head on the a pillar handle a couple of times after I installed one. Yup, I’m a doofus, but not the only one :-)
