That looks neat. This is something that has always fascinated me, and left me stumped at the same time, how do you go about doing this? Removing the door handles etc... And then, how do you open the door?

They did this:

1.- Remove Handle
2.- Solder a piece metal covering the handle "hole"
3.- Sand it a lot
4.- Fix the line of the car
5.- Sand again
6.- Paint

To open it:

Just used Solenoids and a remote control

Looks great! Really cleans it up. Makes me want to get it done!

But what happens if you leave your lights on and your battery dies?

This is just like every other thread. If there are no pics, we want pics. if there are no numbers, we want numbers. It looks awesome, but how much money?!
