I am thinking about installing shaved door handles on my 4dr accord. Can anybody school me on what I need to know.
1. who makes to most reliable product?
2. should I get 35lb solenoids or should I get stronger ones (wear & tear reasons)?
3. door thrusters vs. door poppers?

any info regarding the kit itself and the body work would help.

 

mind if i ask is it gonna be a show car or some sort?

 

you need to have a good understanding on 12- volt wiring, relays, and alarm systems. If you dont know anything about 12-volt, it is a little too involved to explain in a post.

1st of all you dont install shaved door handles. you simply shave them. with sheet metal usually around 18-20 gauge. second solenoids basically describe how much pressure you want the door to open with. thats a personal thing you must just choose it. and thrusters? just buy the poppers..and stick with AutoLoc with everything. PS have a reputeable body man do the work because import cars have weak metal and it warps easy. anymore questions...read my sig. i've already done it..

 

Just curious.... How the heck do you get in if the battery dies???

hehe....you can use a hidden popper for emergency release..

 

i have all four doors shaved on mine including door moldings. i got the popper kit made by spal and it seems to work great. ive had it on for about 8 months with no problems yet.

 

nah, wont be a show car. At least I dont think it will. You know how it is once you start..you just keep on going. What about remotes? Since I have a 4dr I assume I will have to buy 2 kits. Which will leave me with 2 remotes plus my alarm remote. Is there any way I can narrow down the amount of remotes?

 

bagged93accord: You shaved your fuel door? How the heck do you put gas in?

 

you can use a channel on your alarm to trigger you door popper. That way you will only have to carry around one remote
