if you have keyless entry then you would have to get a whole new keyless entry that pops the door instead of unlocking the windows.

Then you can have like a Dukes of Hazard Max. Now that would be cool. I am not sure the Stars and Bars painted on the car would go over really well with people. Unless you are from the south. It would still be cool. Have you and your brother run around and get in to high speed chases with Boss Hog.

not worth it

It will cost like 2000 dollars to shave all four door handles, not worth it. you have to cut out the old handle, put a piece of metal behind it, fill it in and then get the door poppers. by the time your all done it will cost like 2 grand. spend that 2 grand on something else like nitrous.

WHAT

Maybe two hundred dollars per door for the shave plus then they need to be painted and you need the poppers. you could prolly get it done for 1400 if you get a deal but i know someone with them on a civic and by the time it was all done it was almost 2g's. If you can get it done for 200 bucks then good luck and get it done.

damn

Hey i must have been told wrong them, sorry. So if i can get it done for 100 bucks a door i could just have that done and use the only handy OEM alarm feature there is, the hold the unlock and open the windows thing. i think i will start saving towards the no door handle fund.

yea 200 is real low, the alarm for it probably costs more than that... my friend has shaved door handles and antenna on his 94 integra GS-R it looks sick... i wouldnt spend the money on it either though.. he said they took another integra door and matched up the size of the handles and when you take out the handles, you replace the space with the metal from the scrapped door... he had them use fiberglass on the outside of it because he didnt want bondo... not sure what it ran him but he knows the guy and the guy did his whole body kit and paint and all of that so im sure he got a good deal

hmmmm, good question

That's a good thought, it never even crossed my mind. I guess that would mean the "someone broke into my car", "but i scared them off before they could take anything". My insurance agent, will you fix this, ooh, oh course we will, hehe.
