Default button opener for door

My dad was telling me about a button you push (than can be hidden) to open your doors, and had the door handles filled in at a body shop. Has anyone ever done this, of have a photoshoped pic of a trans am with no door handles?

if you do buy a shavedoor kit, I would HIGHLY recommend Autoloc or another higher quality kit. They might be upwards of $400 for a good kit, but it will save your *** in the long run.
I know 2 guys that shaved their doors on their trucks, using the cheap $100-150 kits out there, and there has been nothing but problems. Like relays going bad within weeks, solenoids dying, horrible wiring diagrams, etc etc
I installed 1 of those kits, and I can tell ya, you wont have fun installing them either

Take a look at the C6, if you get to see one at an auto show.
Chevrolet has done away with door locks and no longer uses cylinders or handles.
They have a push button and a red LED that lights up on the door to indicate when to door is locked and unlocked. There is a button located on each door and you push it to unlatch the door. Works with a rubber pad.
Don't know if the technology will be transferable to the F-Body, but it's out there now on a GM product.
