i just ordered this kit SPAL USA

it pretty much works like a regular car remote.. except it pops the door open for you

DJ those I think are some of the best ones on the market SPAL makes a good kit! let me know how it goes ;)

wow the car looks so much better without the handles. They really kill the body line and don't go with the car at all, its like they realized that there was big door handles on the 350z and figured they had to carry them over on the 370z which is a shame.

DJ cant wait to see it!!! Really like the shaved look. I will be waiting on the pics!!!!

props to you DJ for actually having the cojones to go through with it!!!!!!

thanks. i will most def post pics, i have a lot going on for this month, and will post up my build once i can!

:tup: thatll be sick after u shave em

exciting!! good luck on the project

OK I sent in the request for the GTR retro fit and Shaved options to ArtCraft.... :excited: I cant wait to see the outcome! I expect the GTR retrofit to be close to $1k because of parts and the shaved should run about $500-$750... we will see when I get the quotes back... I am really leaning on the GTR handles as no one will have them and I keep all my OEM capabilities without extra controllers :D

hey bullitt are there requirements for shaved handles on the track?

I dont know lol I have never ran into a shaved car door on the track lol

Is there any new news on the GTR retro fit and Shaved options?

No news yet but after the insurance adjuster comes out to do the claim on my car I will be sending it to artcraft to get worked on :D Jeff, the owner, is going to take a look and see what the time and materials are going to be. I am most likely going to be doing the shaved door mod with hidden recessed buttons under the mirrors ;) I will keep you guys updated :D

I don't think anyone has been able to grasp the true cost of retrofitting GTR door-handles. Not only will you have to cut/mold the doors, but fab up the actual mechanisms for everything to work properly. You're looking at least $2K in labor alone, not including the handles from Nissan. 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.

I say the Shaved handles look a lot better than the stock handles do and they are worth the cost if the look right
I'm going to wait until I see an actual car already have it be done
