where did you find the mold to cover the handles or are you making them etc? you gotta post up more details than that

 

I couple people have..... but i agree with CarrRyane lol

 

ok I just want to know how powerful of a selanoid I am going to need to move our heavy @$$ door LOL

 

we will be doing all custom work just need to know some stuff first

 

This is from a post Nemesis made awhile ago.

"Used 50 pound DEI poppers. Took about 30 mins per door to install wire the poppers into my alarm. Keep in mind that you can't ground the poppers to the door itself. You have to run wires to the inside of the car. That requires taking the door off and drilling holes in the door jams.

Shaving the doors takes 3 or 4 hours per door to do it right.

Then you have to waire the alarm or door popper kit.

Its not just putting poppers in the door, its a lot more involved. And then you have to repaint the entire door."

bondo filler in the door hole is not a solution IMO... you need to have a piece of sheet metal shaped and then tacked and then grinded then sanded and then sealer and then primer and then paint....

yeah.... "and then and then and then and then"

 

lol... and then... i agree. Did the same thing with the trunk key hole on one of my previous cars. sheet metal ftw!!

 

both my trunk and hood are done... both with bulldog... they are small holes... and in the right light u can see the holes... the labor is not worth it on something as small as those.... but in a major body line such as the handles... dont cheap out

 

One of the tibs up for june COTM has shaved handles.
Maybe shoot them a PM.

 

Why don't you check with the manufacturer?

 

I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, but it doesn't seem safe to me. I was thinking about shaving my handles, but then I thought, "if I end up unconscious in a really bad car wreck, how's anybody else going to know how to get me out?" If you do get your handles, be extra careful when driving.

 

Basically the reason I am doing the whole shaved door handle thing is to clean up the look for car shows. My friend is starting up is own custom car business and thought that the tiburon would be a good car to show off. So he/we are going to customize the car itself and he is going to do a nice paint job on it. You something that makes you turn your head. Honestly the reason I want to do the shaved door handles is because it is less I have to touch and less to scratch. Especially since he is going this whole thing for free to get his name out there

 

Tell him to fly to my house and do the same to my car and I will put his name down the side of my car for a year...lol

 

lol I am sure he would be very willing

 

I got the booth/garage if he wants to put up the flight/labor tell him I will buy the paint, poppers etc... hell I'd even have my grandma bake him cake...LMAO

 

MMM cake! I

 

A long time ago a guy post pics here of his shaved door handles but i will not search on that:3_chubby:

 

Don't get much better than this.
All work, molding the entire body kit and shaving the door handles done by hand, by her.

WickedTibby.

 

Might have to shave this car as well! I already want to ditch the wing, might as well get rid of everything else! 50lb poppers should be more than enough, they worked on my Taurus doors, and those were some heavy doors!

 

way too ricey for my tastes.

 

clean body lines is too ricey? mkay.......... go drive a neon

 

Pwned!

I think it looks good. However the handle does break up the overall body style. I think the tib looks good either way.

 

ooo i love the shaved door handle look. now i might have to do it

 

ricey?? that looks clean as hell

 

That was alot of work especially with the kit and shaved door handles but the end result was more than worth the expense, toil and thensome. Just candy for the eyes.
