Door Panel Pics?

I was wondering if anyone had any pics of custom inner door panels? Maybe ones with a shaved inner door handle. The reason is I just shaved my doors and im thinking about getting rid of the inner handle as well and replace it with a flush mount push button but i dont want a huge hole in my door panel. Thanks for any help.

I don't have any pics for a change, and from a safety standpoint I wouldn't recommend what your considering. Having had shaved handles in the past I can assure you that no matter how well the are installed they can still quit working. If this were to happen in an emergency situation you could be trapped with out a mechanical release inside. It may sound like a cool idea, but it could be very dangerous

Well that is a good point, but if all else fails I can roll down the window and crawl out. But in all seriousness right know it is just an idea I was just wondering if anyone had any pics.

Ahhh! I assumed when you wanted to "shave" the door panel that included the window cranks too....
