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.

82Firebird did. His car was the silver 82 firebird with the bird painted on the hood along with 18" Coys C5 gray rims.

Yep, I did....it looks soooo much better. I topped it off with the smooth 4th gen handles.

how hard is it to put the 4th gen handles on? are there any modifications or do they just bolt right on?

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.

I agree so much, I did it to my old 92RS, years ago.

Nice mod

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
