removing door handles?

has anyone removed their door handles? i was wondering how difficult it was to do. i havent tried it yet, but i just wanted to see what my car would look like with shaven door handles. just a little experiment to mess aroudn with. i'm not going to do it but i was just curious. anyways if anyone has information, let me know.

You do know that you will need some door poppers if you shave your handles, right?

Correct me if I am wrong but I think you need to do the following:

Take off the handle
Fill in the hole
Paint and all that stuff
Install door poppers
And enjoy

just take a hack saw...saw off ur door handles right...sand em down so its smooth, than fill it with whatever u use, than sand it down so its smooth, and paint! voila!

than get a sweet push button on the bottom of the door to open it..or one of those fancy wireless remote with 'open door' function...but if u do that..might as well get vertical doors as well

My door handles are gettin shaved as soon as they finish moldin the back doors shut. My body shop is chargin me 50 bucks a door to shave the door handles. Then my local alarm shop is goin to install some door poppers on both front doors that will work off my current alarm that was purchased from them for about 300. So overall, just shavin your door handles and gettin poppers and NOT paintin it will run you bout 500 bucks. Paint job will add more, but theres no sense in doin it unless repaintin the whole car like i will...pics will be up soon as I can get some...
