Does anyone have any pics of a 3rd gen with shaven door handles or have any info on how to obtain a set.

That sounds dumb I have to say. Your not going to make the handle go away, I mean maybe just the lever in the handle, but the big black handle will still be there.

skunks

it can be done fairly easily, just put a layer of cf over the stock handle part

Thanxs skunks.... SpiritR thanxs also next I see your name I'll know I should just go else where...

pumpkin king have you given consideration to the fact if that's something you want to do the inconvenience of having to crawl through your trunk to open the door if the battery dies. I admit to see a car totally shaved looks bad *** but I've got a friend that shaved his doors on his car and when the battery's died in the past it was a pain to crawl through. Just my .02

Not if you run an alternate source of power to them in time of need. Thats what I did on my past car.

The only thing I like shaved is beavers.

Touring FD3S

I can definitely understand shaving door handles on most cars, but an FD is not one of them. Our handles were put in a place which makes them indescrete, and people love them. I love having someone get in my car who has never done it and ask where the door handles are. I think the car would look the same shaved or with them.
Just my opinion

Vick

Me too. Both of my door handles broke and I would always look like a fool crawling into the car through the trunk at school.

As for the door handles, I agree with Touring FD3S. They look fine the way they are, yet really stand out from the norm that is other vehicles. However, they do often cause trouble...

Shaved door handles = cool

inis

ya, its a pretty dumb idea. on any other car maybe, but it will look the damn same. people wouldnet even know the difference, and you would have the inconvience.

Sparkey

Dont know why you would want to change the door handles they are some of the cleanest stock handles ever. Except for whats on ferraris and stuff like that. All I would do is just put maybe the feed carbon fiber handles on and leave it at that cause they look so good.

Shaved door handles are for ricers. It just adds weight to the car and serves no purpose.

i didnt even know the rx7 had shaved door handles until two weeks ago when i was looking at my wallpaper closely

inis

what the hell is a shaven door handle? I gots to knows.

Shave = Remove

On cars with handles in the door it can look pretty cool if you remove the door handles and fill in the hole for a smooth look.

For an FD it's sort of redundant, but people like different things.

ZeroBanger

Oh yea and pull a Dukes of Hazzard to get in? No thanks.

what a dumb idea.

Be original & shave the interior door handles!

Cetchup

I agree, but usually people install door poppers on their alarm. They push a button and the door pops open slightly so they can grab it and open it.

Shaving a handle serves one purpose and that would aerodynamics. None of us are ever going to reach speeds at which this is even relevant. Have fun and let me know how much bondo you used.

i agree with most that its more for cars with handles on the lower part of the door. with the fd, i wouldn't do it. but what i think would be the coolest is what the TVR's have done. a little button on the underside of the side-view mirror, pops them open. very indescreet, and if your battery dies, no big deal. i'm just wondering where the keyhole is...hrmmmm, off to tvr.uk..........
