Can you post a pic of the shaved handles? I'm not sure I follow the concept.

Thanks.

Btw, I'm liking what you have done so far. Impressive to say the least.

Automatic, AC, Leather Seating, 6 CD Changer, Monsoon sound, XM radio, Sport Metallic Pedals, did I mention Automatic.

Since my better half doesn't drive stick ... tis better to get an automatic GXP than no GXP at all.

"SHAVED" means to get rid of. The way it works it that you have an acuater hooked up to a stainless steel line whcih in turn is hooked up to ur lock. You use a remote to unlock

Sweet as$ paint job, looks almost like the new Wicked color for 2009. Momssol will love it.

I agree with IBD but did he use a relay with bolt actuator to pop the door open when you unlock it?

I'd like to see install notes and photos on the shaved handles and closer detail of the hood.

Usually when you buy the shaved door handle kit it comes with the relay. As you know there are a few componets for this kit. The actualor unlocks the door, the door popper pops the door open.

I know on my truck I didnt have the poppers becuase the doors were light so It was not needed. But on my sunfire I had them heavy doors.

I am curious as to what pound poppers scott used
