if he's really going for the smooth look, he should get rid of the stripe from the moldings.

He was going to do that, but the body guy told him that it would eventually crack.
So in the fiture when he upgrades bumper he will do that ( maybe).

I'm still baffled by this no headlight concept... dunno what state your in, but I think your required to have headlights.... infact I think that's a federal law inforced by the DOT

Edit: oh wait, you're in canada.... nm, you're all retarded anyways.

what magazine

I don't know which of the three magazines that I subscribe to but I saw a full spread (spread=2 pages) ad for one type of shaved/actuator system. I will post what page, month, magazine and what the company's website is.

Basically its this:

Use a remote trunk release from a donor car, and hook up the thing that pulls the cord down to the door handle cord.

Then you remove the handle part and spot weld on a peice of metal and grind it down smooth.

Neptune great comment on canadians.. next time though try pulling your head out of your *** so you don't need to look at your keyboard through your belly button with a perscope.

i'm not even gonna bother explaining to you where my head lights are relocated cause you'd need at least a double digit IQ to understand it

for the shaved door handles you can actually get kits for it.. it's getting very popular at shows from what i heard..

and for those who like the car
