how much does it cost to get my door handles shaved or is it something i cold do? what type of popper do you use?

unless you have a welder and know how to bend the metal to blend perfecty to go along the crease the runs along the door, there is no way you can do that yourself. i think any 75 lb door popper should do the trick. you just have to worry about the poppers freezing in the cold weather we get here in ohio

do you know how much it would cost........would they have to repaint the whole door

 
Rep Power: 511

i dont know how much it would cost, but i know they would have to repaint the whole door if you want the paint on the shaved part to match the rest of the car.

it would cost you about 1,500 to get done.

and if u have to ask the question if u can do it urself..........then no u can't.

Rep Power: 607

Rep Power: 607

did u get a special deal.......like you knew the guys doing it

 
Rep Power: 0

did they repaint both doors completly

 
Rep Power: 0

no, they just match and paint where the handle is and diffuse it all over the door, then they clear coat it completly..

no special deal.

 
Rep Power: 607

well, that is a pretty damn good body man if they can perfectly match the paint where they just welded.....every shop i have seen, repainted the whole door.

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah, the prices you guys were getting are kinda outrageous. the highest price i got was like $500 for a complete job.

I got mine done, but repainting the whole car. It shouldn't be $1000 or anything like that.

 
Rep Power: 0

well i have silver so i bet they couldnt just paint the area welded..............

90 Bucks a door? I think you just got your key holes shaved for that type of money, not the handles.

I want to hear from InOvAtStyL on what he had to do when they put his widebody on since it covers his door handles for the insta shave.

 
Rep Power: 607

u install acutators with a electronic keypad....it works just like keyless entry. Also, you should have mechanical popper hidden somewhere.

My handles are still there, they are simply covered by the new panel that was added to make the widebody. If I was to remove the panel, it'll be as if I never did anything to the door, handles and all. I did however have to mold in the panel to the door aside from riveting it. I get in and out of my car by an automated window roll down or by my door poppers. I installed a 75lb autoloc actuator.

Thank you thats what I was looking for since I may be buying the widebody and kit by the end of summer.

 
Rep Power: 301

sorry i doubted you. man that price is insane!

usually runs 250-350 per hole from shave to paint + door poper cost. check auto locks website for current price.


ps dont forget to have a manual poper somewhere incase battery dies etc.

I have a scratch and some dents on my door. So they can still fix it and match the paint without doing the whole door? I also may get the side mouldings shaved.
