I think it would be too expensive, involved and unsatisfying to go through on our cars. The lines flow really well and the door handles don't really get in the way. Think about it, no one even noticed. On the other hand, shaved door handles would look freakin awesome on something like the 350Z. Have you guys seen the door handles on those things? UGH!

Yea the whole point of me not saying what I changed was to see if anyone noticed it. It was just an idea that popped in my head. It wouldnt cost that much for me though because I could do most of it myself just not the paint.

Looks good. The shaved handles aren't very noticable, but once they are it sets the car off. Good Job!

The best mods are the mods that aren't noticed right away or at all.

The tree growing out of the hatch in the second pic is unique.....

only thing that costs money is the paint and shave door kit (popper kit)
you can glass the doors, instead of welding on a typical car with metal doors. SO EASY to do
just make sure you get a QUALITY kit, like autoloc
