My ix is getting painted soon I was debating shaving the doors handles. How much is a fair price to have the shop patch/fill the hole where the handle was? I can do the rest of the work no problem.and since the door will be painted anyway that parts covered.

 

um.......what?

Just do yourself a favor and leave the door handles lol.

Just sayin

 

Yea............... ummmmmmm................. I can't imagine why you would want to do this but it sounds like a bad idea. JMHO bro.

 

please don't..leave the handles alone. No need to take them away

 

Think about it guys. No door handles, smoother body line..
More aerodynamic!.....




hahahaha Please leave them alone.

 

^ that. I dont see anything wrong with shaving the door handles

 

So why would I be doing myself a favor leaving the door handles?

 

Door poppers are headaches. You pray they always work or the batteries don't die. Or if you go mechanical, hope they never stick or it doesn't freeze in your area.

 

Call body shops in your area.

And I concur. Leave the door handles alone. Shaving door handles is so 90's. LOL

 

nobody does that **** anymore. get with the program!

 

Im not so worried about sticking or freezing its a show car 11k miles bought new in 06 .I do ocasionally take it on cruises or out on a nice night.the body shop my car is at for the bodywork/paint,I don't think wants to do it.he said 500 a door just to weld a patch over the hole and fill/sand.seems a bit pricey to me...

 

Hell yeah, everytime I see a show car I look for shaved handles. I say do it man and post up pictures.

 

Make sure they weld steel were the holes are.
GL and post pics for all to see.

 

^^ This. Don't let them put 6061 aluminum in there.

 

because RACECAR i kid i kid..its your car bro, just make sure they use steel to prevent cracking..post up some pics after too!!
