Shaved door handles

DJcuetip · 10-12-2009, 08:34 PM

yes they sell shaved door handle kit that has a popping mechanism with a certain amount of force.. usually i think 40lb force is a good enough pressure.

yeah make the unlock button pop the door open an inch so you just grab the door edge. that or make a door handle out of the rear quarter glass like my mazda rx7 has its handle not on the door but in the black plastic upper area, stock.

Shaved door kits will pop the door open up to 1 in. Who would be interested in seeing how much it would cost to do a GTR retro fit? I can ask artcraft to give me a quote if there is enough interest. If the price is right I will do it

exactly what do you mean by a gtr retro fit lol

theDreamer · 10-13-2009, 10:47 AM

The GT-R door handles are flush with the car, they handle pops out slightly to open it.

bullitt5897 · 10-13-2009, 11:20 AM

^^^ Exactly mine would be color matched PW

so for all intents and purposes it would looked shaved. but you retain the push button and handle that we have on our cars but completely flush with the car.

I would need to see a solid photo of how this will look, I am really looking into doing paint match my current handles (graphite).

Equinox · 10-13-2009, 11:24 AM

that would take some interesting body work.

shabarivas · 10-13-2009, 11:29 AM

come on - some one do a photoshop so we can guesstimate what it would look like

bullitt5897 · 10-13-2009, 12:26 PM

ohhh fine I will do one lol

Ur pulling my freaking hair here guys LOL

zfokaiz · 10-13-2009, 12:26 PM

sorry for my ignorance but would this be like the new corvette handles? where their sort of made into the door itself?

bullitt5897 · 10-13-2009, 12:42 PM

Excuse me for not knowing or possibly not reading all the way through, but what do you use to open the door again? Regardless, I think it would look good. The Z's door handles are kind of bulky.
