I have some question, I would like to know what people think about shaved door handles, and I would also like to know how much it cost for the poper kit, and for my last question in the winter would the popers not working properly thanks to the cold weather??

punkindrublic

for the most part not a good idea

if your getting your car painted its not a bad idea. IMO they look good shaved on certain cars. The popper kits can be a bit pricey if u get a good one like the auto-loc kits. If you get a crappy actuator it may fail in the winter although most of the time you just have to activate the popper more than once so the spring will push out the door enough.

Personally, I don't like the shaved door handle look...

egrunner

ya....sick look ,if you drive a high end ferrari...for a civic.....the poppers cost more than the car

punkindrublic

aren't they also illegal? since an emergency crew or the like have no way of entering the car?

scarlemthug

There are ways around it, i know a few people with shaved handles who daily drive there cars. Basically if its that serious that the emergency crews need to get into your car there not gonna be opening to door with the handle. Also if you have a t-top, convertable or anything like that its completely legal to have shaved handles.

GinoLicious

Yeah I heard they were illegal as well.

i dont think you can certify the car with shaved handles can you?

red90dx

nope. emergency vehicles need to be able to open the door via a handle, but in accidents, there is always the "Jaws of life "

I personally would never do it just cuz I know people who got locked out of their cars when the actuators broke and ****.

The Prophet

exactly, i wouldnt wanna be locked out

hatches might be ok cause u can crawl through the hatch, but coupe/sedan, forget about it

scarlemthug

the auto-loc popper setup comes with an extra switch that you mount hidden somewhere in-case you lock yourself out of the car. Like I said I know people who have certified there car with shaved handles and been pulled over and not questioned. Its just like anything else, if a cop wants to hassle you they can.

I dont like the look of shaved door handles

i have shaved rear door handles on my 4dr and had no problems with it ... i have the auto-loc kit which cost around $420 for 2 popper kits ... they are pricey but imo are worth it, especially if they are frequently used

iceburg_shorty

i like the look. like they said make sure u get a good kit that will pop in the winter. or ur climbing through the hatch

in my 7th gen, theres two pull strings in sedans to fold down the 60/40 seats, you could easily crawl through.

If you were building a pure show car I would say go for it if thats your thing. Even maybe if it was only a summer only car.

But since you mentioned that you're gonna drive your car during the winter...

don't even bother... you need to think about the purpose of what your car is for and what you're using it for.

To me sounds like its a purely daily driven car, keep that in mind when you mod your car.
