Default Shaved door handles anyone???

Just wondering if your door handles are shaved.

If so, which "system" are you using to get the doors open? AutoLoc perhaps? Anything good/bad about them? Any horror stories yet?

Anybody here have any experience with them?

Thanks!!!

I have a serious question for you guys who want to do this.

I noticed in your list of mods, you have nice performance setups. Why shave your doorhandles and not be able to test these machines at a track? A lot of places will not let you race with shaved handles for safety reasons. If you crash or your car catches on fire, it makes it reeeeaaaal hard for safety workers to get your *** out of the car.

I think that is the main misconception about them....
Your right alot of places wont let you run with them unless you have emergency handles of some sort.
I have my handles shaved too and been to numerous tracks and nobody has said **** about them. Nor do i have emergency handles
I don't think its legit for them to ban them if its true in the first place.

I dont see track officials bothering with emergency handles when a car is balzing on fire, I would just kick the window in if its glass....
If the cars has Lexan i could see it being harder to bust, and the need for handles...
just my thoughts

Safety inspection at the race track, ahhhh....I forgot to think about that.

I think I'll leave the handles on. Just too many things can go wrong; dead solenoids, dead battery, etc.
