shouldnt have shaved anything to begin with, but I dont see why anyone would do just the door handles and not the moldings, so now you may as well finish it.

anyway, after seeing pictures I still have the same opinion, I dont see the point of just the handles, so now that they are already done I guess you should do the whole thing, but I would have never done any of it to begin with. get it?

that doesnt sound so bad. i like the idea of handles for track use (although no offense it doesn't look like much of a track car) plus if someone ever has to open your door for whatever reason (like emergency worker) plus its illegal in quite a few states I believe.

I say ditch the kit, get the stock bumpers and sides and shave everything. I think the look will be simple and clean. It's always smoother when you shave.
