I have a 91 firebird and I am thinking about getting the door handles shaved. Any suggestions on a certian kit/motors to use? What do all you think of shaved handles on 3rd gens?

I bought the vehicle power accessories kit from summit racing. Shaved door handles are for sure the way to go.

It's horribly tacky. Don't do it.

Consider just shaving the locks. The locks are ugly, the door handles aren't that bad.

another good one is converting to the more flush look of truck handles.

I plan on doing it now since the person who broke into my car really ate up my door around my lock cylinder. It'll look cleaner I think.Originally Posted by charlielamb

Personally I like what Stephen did in fitting the truck door handles on. Looks killer on our cars.

I did mine a few years back and I love it. People comment on them all of the time, and it's one more thing to set your car apart from the rest
