How to shave door handles and other parts? [Merged 11-7] shaving shaved

[Eclipse97]

I recently remove my stock turbo spoiler and I found out there was three holes left on my car. How can I fix this problem, can I do it myself or I need to take it to the body shop for them to shave the holes out. I would rather do it myself to save money but if there isn't another way then I will settle with the body shop.
Thanks guys!

This guy is selling his GST on Ebay and he has half-shaved door handles. I have never seen this done before. I hope he never breaks a handle... of wait its a DSM the high quality handle would never break...

It's original, but what a pain in the ass. If I had that kind of time on my hands......

 

[SoilentGreen98]

I think there's a few guys on the site actually that might have that.

 

[Urban_S]

Thats kinda cool.

I got it it ok I think I am going to completely shave then eventaly

 

[SpYYder]

i hope he put in brand new handles from the mitsu dealership before he did that.

It's ugly, it just doesn't flow right.

 

[HighPsi92GST]

not sure if I like it or not. I think it would look better completely shaved off, or completely there

my friend did that with his 96 GS, except he left the keyholes

if his handle breaks he was just going to shave them completely...

Looks like grey to me... at least the ebay pics do, there's a couple pics of the interior there.

In the closeup pic of the handle it looks like it still needs paint

i don't mind the door handles.

and it's got a "Hand boost Controler Most GST'S have 12psi this one has about 20psi"

thats been done quite a bit. if anyone is thinking about doing it...don't!

they crack pretty quick, even if done well. the metal door and plastic handles expand at COMPLETELY different rates. you don't really notice until you do it. (it's most commonly called semi-shaved door handles)

i did it on one of my previous honda's. i did it in a shop so everything was room temp. came out killer. as soon as the sun hit it the handle would swell ALOT. it would probably push out a good 2mm (VERY noticable) when the car cooled down in the shade or at night it went back to perfect.

that and the fact the these 2g handle LOVE to break...

it comes out great on vehicles with metal door handles tho...

heres the question I am installing solenoids for my shaved handles and need some advise on the best location for the solenoid. I know its mostly trial and error but I thought I might get some advise form those of you who have some experiance inthis sort of install.

My thoughts would be mountiong to the inside of the door on the door fram(bear claw side) so the pull would be straight down. let me know what you think.



thanks
Chris

I recently purchased a car with shaved door handles, and the solenoid pulls straight down. So that would proably be the best place for the install.

 

[tom04841]

Can you tell me how you did it? I have the kit, but i can't figure out where to mount the soleniod. I was thinking about just attaching it to the rod for the interior handle. This seems to be the least involved setup since there doesn't seem to be much room insde the door. But if you could tell me how you did it, that would be great. Thanks in advance

i recommend not shaving the door handles if you plan on going to the track. at the drag strip we go to you have to have door handles to run. safety purposes i guess incase you crash

-the shaved looked does have a great look to it. makes the outside alot cleaner

Tell me what parts you need (part numbers), and I can get a MUCH better price on there (I work there).

You'll probably need either 8015835DP for 45lb solenoids or 80158DP for the 15lb solenoids.

BTW, these are the Autoloc kits.
