just take it to your local body shop, if they say they cant do it, then I wouldnt trust them with my car anyways. There really isnt any specified kits out there to shave your doors, it's just body work that any skilled person can do.

Yeah would be cool just not very realistic for everyday use. I knew a guy that had a custom 1950's Mercury and you had to squeeze a handle underneath the rocker panel to open the door.

Yeah.... I'm not really feeling the shaved handles. My friend had them on his slammed truck. It was a lot of fun sticking my hand in between the door and the body of the car to open them up once he popped them.

also if there was a accident and you had to be pulled from the car the EMT's will have a hard time getting you out.

Hopefully the EMT's would be smart enough to smash the windows.

Personally I'm going to shave the rear door handles and keep the fronts. No one's going in the back anyways, the seat comes out tommorrow.

you would think with shaved door handles that your car would be more suscetiable to car theft, someone mentioned a hidden button under the car incase the power went out. Put a kick *** alarm with a mercury switch on the doors if you go through with this.
