Default Help! Shaving my doors?

Hey guys - I've been (slowly) adding body mods for awhile now, and am getting ready to shave the doors. But not having done this b4, I'm not sure what kit to use. I came across this one:

Anybody have any experience w/ Autoloc shaved door kits? If so, tips would be much appreciated!!!

Have you put any thought into getting rid of the handles? That will be alot of work since the doors are fiberglass.

I believe thats what he wants to do, he will need something to open the door for him once the handles are gone.

I hope your good with fiberglass b/c it takes a lot of it to get rid of our door handles... Fiberglass is not fun to work with either... But yeah that kit will work if your willing to put in the time and effort!! Good luck!!

I was just trying to make the point that the popper install is the easy part.

The glass won't be much of a problem - glass is a lot easier for me than welding! Like any body fills tho, it'll be the sanding that really will make this look good... I mostly wanted to make sure I get some good solenoids and poppers, and the more I read about 'em the more it looks like the heavy duty solenoids from Autoloc are about as good as it gets...

pics to come one of these days...weeks... some day!

i hope you dont plan on going to the track often. I know that some wont allow you to make a pass due to safety.
