Yep, mine are gone. I'm going to upgrade to a shaved door handle kit from Custom Classic though.

Yep...quite a few of us here have it done. Just make sure they use the right materials when they do it or it will shrink up and crack.....ask me how I know...

Yeah I was thinking about a flosh handle something like that. There is a car that had a flush handle that had a springloaded door the covered the finger slot. For the life of me I can't remember what it was. Maybe it was a Starion.

If you want to see what extreme shaving looks like take a look at my website (link at the bottom). damn computer crashed and lost all my pictures.

LOHRTBT · 02-26-2004, 08:37 PM

You are thinking of the Geo Storm that has a slot...I have contemplated that too.
