Shaving, on the other hand, should be no different than on any other car as there are pre-fabbed kits available through the aftermarket.
Still...you must really hate the factory door-handles to go through all the headache necessary to get rid of them. I say leave the shaved-handles for the mini-trucks and lowriders.

JoeD I understand this is a forum and you have the right to voice your opinion but jeeze man you have no clue what you are talking about. I have researched the parts it will take to do the retro fit and the costs are a lil over $1k to do them. You do not have to make all kinds of crazy custom parts maybe a mount or two but not a whole lot. its as simple as buying the inner door mechanism/actuators for a gtr plus the handle assemblies... thats it! Other than that the cost of getting them installed is close to the same as shaved door handles. Shaved doors is well under the $750 mark and looks very clean.
back on to the other ideas.
Shoot I like the idea of the corvettes but the problem comes down to modifying the rear quarter panel and the door to do it... mucho expensivo my friends! lol but its a nice concept and it would look good too!
