looks nice...I like the DVD player

But me personally would have stuck with red...blue is nice but imo red is nicer.

All in all it looks good...glad to see you have a turbo to back it up with too

shaved handles own. can't wait to get my car back. Looks smooth tho. Are u gonna add any graphics this time? Maybe some ghost flames? Or just blue?

 

[K Dan]

This is gonna sound stupid but how do you open the door with no door handle? I always hear about shaved door handles but I could never figure it out car looks real nice though

 

[TBSpyder]

How's the nitrous bottle mounted there? Is that a custom bracket or what?

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

hey man.. thats clean.. leave it like that..

dont fugk up the "clean" look by adding graphics and crap unless ur gonna enter shows.. just my suggsetion..

the interior is perfect.. just that blue on the door panel is enough as an accent so it doesnt look overdone (like some)

 

[dj_u4ea]

i have decided not to go with graphics this time. i am only gonna put the parts list on the fenders in white vynal soi can peel it off if i dont like it. the nitrous bottle has a custom rack i built. and the doors are actually poped open with an actuator tied into my alarm, so now trunk release is my river side door. thanks for the compliments will post more when finished.....

there are selenoids that pop open the door when you press a button. Kinda like door locks that open with the button

Ah I see, thanks for clearing that up. How do u lock it though, I know you could probably lock it from the inside, what about unlocking from the outside?

 

[dj_u4ea]

why lock it, without the remote you cannot open the door? no handle

 

[RipperXX]

How much did it cost to have the door handels shaved?

 

[dj_u4ea]

um notha , i did it myself, all together i guess 25.00 for the selonoid and like 5.00 for materials, i do this at my shop and i usually charge (painted to match) 350.00 to do a set,(that might give you an idea)

 

[RipperXX]

Could you tell me how you basicly shave it? just fill in the door handel with a plate from the inside and smooth it over with bondo?

I would rather atempt it myself than pay some one to do it. Unless it's realy hard to get it so that is't not noticeable.

 

[Wildflyer897]

i'm thinking of shaving my door handles but if i do i'm going to do all of it. as in the back center tail light keyhole (since it doesn't work anywayz) and the antenna and the doors. but how do we fill the holes? metal and some bondo? or doesn't someone make an insert that then all i have to do is sand and bondo sand and bondo till smooth then paint?
