Shaved door handles are not a theft deterrent...and clear tails are illegal.

because the internet is a wide world of ****.
any idiot with a computer and some peice of **** product can sell it if they so choose to do so. and other idiots will buy their crap.

just because its for sale dosent mean its legal.

you need to have an actuator open the door.

why are you doing this??
if its for thieft deterrent its a waste of time and money. they will just break the window anyway.

There was actually a story about the APC warehouse being raided and all the clear tails were confiscated as they were not legal for street use.

Some altezzas are DOT certified, but they are still not attractive.

Shaving you door handles has no benefit against theft.

If someone wants your car, they will break the windows and take it.

Really a door handle doesn't do a thief a whole lot of good anyway.

shaving door handles is a big theft deterent,how many thieves want t jump in through a broken window,then risk having to crawl out through that window in a real hurry if they are busted,the way mine are,there is no handle on the inside or outside and i have buttons that control the actuators from the inside and they only work with the key on,so they cant simply break the glass and open it from the inside,if they break my glass they have to climb in.

Clear tail lights are not illegal if you have the reflectors and your lights still light up the appropriate colors.... red for brakes, orange/red for blinkers
