Default Shaved Handles, looks good?

Anyone know if shaved handles looks good on a 2g crx? Thinking of doing it but dont know whats involved. How do the doors open once I pull and fill the handle hole? Where can a kit be bought from? Expensive?

There is a electric solenoid that pulls the latch when you hit the button. My buddy has his shaved (4g integra 4 door). I don't know what his kit is. Sometimes his door does not pop because of the crappy solenoids. They have to be adjusted just right. Its too much of a hassle if you ask me. The handles have to be removed then a filler piece of metal has to be welded in. Then the welds have to be ground down. Then you have to paint. Lots of work. I rather install power locks and hook them up to an alarm.

AutoLoc makes a kit. It should work pretty flawlessly, if you install them properly. But yeah, it will be a lot of work.

Im not worried about body work becuase right now everything is getting molded and installed onto my car so I can squeeze it in easily. Just was looking to see if it was hard and if it looked good.

Anyone have any pics?
