why respond to the thread if it has nothing to do with the title or topic. i just wanted to know if it is legal or not. no where in the title or thread does it say that it is going to be done. TIA to anyone who can answer this for me.

i know that it is legal in idaho, but you have to have manual poppers on the door also, so if the battery is dead the door can still be opened from the outside

they are legal in california..
and all the other people thinking if the battery dies=just crawl thru the trunk, if your fat, then u'll have a problem
and if your in a accident..they better break the window to get you out.
if you had handles, you locked the doors and u was unconcious inside..wouldn't you think they break the window? same **** as having no door handles

and i think they're legal in most states. but i know most racing sanctions wouldn't approve the car to race if the handles were shaved.
