Thumbs up

That looks very clean with the door handles shaved. I didn't notice at first either. I like it. Do you have a system in your car? The rear end looks slammed compared to the front.

I do like the stripe, but I'd need a close-up PIC of the shaved handles to better express an opinion on that one.

Well it looks extra slammed in the rear on two of the pics because I took them while we were on the Power Tour and we had alot of **** in the back.
What also made lower was I took the rubber spacers out of the back also.

I think shaved handles look great. But I wouldnt do it. The only reason is the weight that you are going to add from the acutators to 'pop' open the doors. Just think our doors are heavy as hell, and might take a stronger (bigger) actuator to accomplish the opening.

BTW - Stagnklr, check out my pics of my painted headlights. I finally did it.
