Thier Cool... you go to a body shop and they shave your handles... basicly it's an apperence thing... what it looks like is
Well it looks like your door handles are missing... You look at the door and they took the door handle off and you can't tell where it was... If your asking how do you open the door, you have to buy Solenoids (i hope I spelt that close to right) to pop the door open for you .. You push a Button on your alarm remote and your door pops open a little so you can swing it out and get in... And if your battery dies... your climbling through the trunk. ! Hope that helps

Yup, what 4jacks said...
You basically replace the section where your handle was with sheet metal, paint it, etc. to make it look like it was never there. Same with shaving emblems, antennas, etc.

a smart thing would be to move the keyhole somewhere else, not get rid of it. cuz if your back seats are up, how are you going to put them down from the trunk?
ahhh the more reasons to own a hatch |

its also illegal in some states unless you drive around at all times with your windows down... some sort of safety thing because it would be so hard to get in with the windows up if there is an emergency... just varies by state though.

Ok....
I don't understand the whole Fat comment.... The door still opens all the way, so if a fat man could get in before he can still get in... If your talking about a fat man climbing through the trunk, well then you have two options, Pay a skinny kid five bucks to climb through your trunk, or break your window. And My 02 Civic, has little tabs to pull from inside the trunk to fold down the back seats. If your doesn't and you dont wanna break a window then your really S.O.L.

cost obviously depends. you have to buy door poppers, and i think a good set costs you about 150 bucks. you can save cash and install them yourselves, or pay for installation. besides that you'll also have to pay for the actual shaving of the doorhandles, plus paint for both doors. personally i'm just going to shave them myself (probably, still looking into prices to see if it's worth it or not), and then get the whole car painted when i'm done shaving the whole thing... it'll probably cost you about 500 i'd say to take it somewhere to install/shave/paint. i could be off on that price, just depends on the shop.

Mine does. Pretty sure my '94 civic had them too. I also don't think I can lock them out (just use the key to pop the seats from in the cabin - although the valet key doesn't open the trunk from the inside or outside. |

If I don't have remote keyless entry to begin with... what happens then? do i have to install that first, and then do the handle shaving? cuz once you shave the door handle, does that mean you also cover up the keyhole? thanks, gee |

you can move the keyholes to a different location - if you want.

you'll need to get door poppers installed before you shave your doorhandles/keyhole. you could also move the keyhole somewhere else as a back up plan, but it kinda seems like it'd be a lot of trouble and more money. just make sure you'll have a way to get in through the trunk JUST IN CASE something were to mess up with your door poppers. which makes me think... since i'm shaving both my doors and trunk, if something goes wrong...well...i'm screwed  hehe |

Prepare for weird looks when you shave your doors, i get them all the time, sometimes people will follow me and ask how i get in! I got this sticker on the window that says "It's impolite to stare" for those people.

There is a discussion similar to this going on in the body mods forum someone is asking about losing batt power and I had an idea what do u all think about extending a batt connection to the under side of your car where you can connect jumper cables. This way you can pop your door. I am sure with a little ingenuity u could find a way to cover and secure them to keep them dry and from shorting together. it should be pretty easy the only problem I see is finding a place to locate them if your car sits real low

Some car alarms offer the option of a back up battery, to keep the alarm blairing if it is broken into... A back up Battery for your door popping selonoids would be a cheaper easier method.
