Anyone Shave their...
 

...door handles. Has this been done to an FC? I think it would look very clean and smooth.

Any pix? Comments? What kit did you use?

I have seen that done to a 87TII for sale on EBAY. I think that it was verry good looking.

Yes i shave my.....nevermind (J/K) I want to do this to my FC, but one i dont know about the cold weather here and dont know if it would freeze itself shut...my friend said just get the 50lbs. solenoid...i rolled my eyes....and then 2nd i wont want to do it becuz i know ppl would be like ur a ricer....although the old classics have shaved door handles

Personally I think being able to open the doors is too important to be left to an electrical device. It would make a flat battery a whole lot more inconvenient...

Well at least you're planning to do this to a hatch back, you can always crawl in if the solenoids fail.

I think it's a good idea. Plus, most kits come with an extra thing that you can use in case your battery does die. I'm actually thinking about doing this myself, because my drivers side door handle is coming off, and I think it would be a good excuse to do something like this.

I know a guy with an impale, everything is shaved off, and he leaves his hood popped so he can get to the battery if it wont open

im plannig on taking off the bigger mazda symbol off the back and shave the key holes for the passenger side door, and the hatch

It is illegal to have shaved door handles in my town. They kinda don't want you to die in a fire when you wreck your car. It is really hard for the fire men to get you out fast when they can't even open the car doors.

i know that if you havqe them shaved that you cant race. well i know you cant over here.

alot of door poppers have a manual, key actuated pop as well, to prevent said dead battery problems.

I think it'd look nice. Fit well with the smooth, straight edges and shape on the FC.

Shaved door handles, too me, are just too gimmicky.
What looks VERY cool on these cars however, is shaving the freakin beltline around the car. I have seen a couple with that done, and WOW. It always tooke me a minute to look at the car and try to figure out what the hell looks so different, yet subtle about it, and its the beltline. It makes the car look SOOO much better, smoother, rounder, and modern. Even the S5's have colour keyed mouldings, which still look dumb.
(IMO)
