Default Custom T/A pics shaved handles, one piece lights etc.

I did a few mods to the T/A and thought I would post pics. List below:
shaved door handles, shaved gas tank filler, 18/19" CCW wheels, shaved locks, shaved front license plate, one piece tail with custom light pattern,shaved marker light front/rear, shaved pontiac from rear, shaved rear cover lines. We also color matched much of the interior but have not put it back in as of yet. The color is black pearl with candy apple red over top. An 02 Firehawk wing will be added later this week to finalize the exterior.

Okay, first off, the car looks great, looks like it has a lot of promise once you get it clean and remove all of the swirl marks in the clear coat. I love the 'shaved' look on the doors, front bumper, and the rear tail-light section, but call me stupid, HOW DO YOU PUT GAS IN IT IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A GAS DOOR?

I would love see pics of it on a sunny day with it cleaned up well.

What are the fillers you use or methods to shave the front and rear bumpers and the door handles?

Thanks.

we have a panel hidden inside the hatch that you remove and fill from where the rear wheel well is located.

Thanks.
we used a two part flexible plastic with a special applicator gun for all the plastic. I cant recall the exact brand off the top of my head. The handles were cut out and fill with a non shrinking fiberglass then sanded smooth.

The car will be done in a couple weeks. We still have to put in the stereo which will be equally impressive and the interior/wing as well. Thanks for the positive comments. I will post up how it all was done shortly as well. If you like this project wait until I post pictures of the LS1 mustang we are finishing up.

Looks familiar. . . I like it! If I didn't have so much stereo stuff in the back area in my car I would have loved to take off the gas opening to. Can't wait to see the finished, waxed up daytime shots.

Looks awesome. Curious on how much the door handles shaved with poppers and everything cost.
