Why would you wanna do this? I really dont see the point unless your going all show since at the track you wont be able to run due to safety issues

Anywho you take out the stock handles and replace them with sheet metal, weld, grind down, sand, buffer, paint. Than you will need a door pop kit which pops the door open with a push of a button

it would look really awful but yes it can be done. Weld some metal plates in place of the door handles and then smooth it out. Paint it over and you're good to go.
For that though, you're going to need an aftermarket door release control unit by remote control. Chryslers have it. However, if it breaks down down the line, then i dont know what to tell ya.

i think it'd look ok, but as already mentioned you won't ever be able to take your car to the track.

This is what I think. If you go to SHOWS alout get them. But if you use your car for daily driving.... I think you should pass.

i wouldn't do it. my buddy bought an ej8 with shaved door handles and he got assed out one day when the pop out kit wouldn't work. he had to break into his ride to unlock the car. thet eg at the top doesn't even look nice without the handles. it feels wierd having something that supposed to be there NOT there.
but to each his own and at the end of the day it is your car so do whatever you like and wanna do to it
