Default Shaving Door Handles

Ive been considering shaving my handles, is it a good idea? How do you go about doing it? How much does it cost to have it done professionally?

FYI It's a Federal crime to do that. But it's all up to you.

Depends on vehicle. My past 2 vehicles had shaved handles but I would never shave them on my SI. If you do it right and use the right solenoids you won't have problems. Stay away from the DEI solenoids. They are cool and all but be ready for some hassles.

As far as price, shaving them wouldn't be too expensive. But be carefull because a lot of people don't know how to do it right. Most people will either warp the crap out of the door when welding and just fill it with filler or they won't even weld it in.

they suck the poppers burn out the door doesnt really POP open .. they freeze like crazy in the winter.. if you decide to get hem make sure you have a window roll down also when you hit the popper it'll will save you money for a window when your poppers burn out .. you wont have to break the window
