Many car enthusiats like the sleek look of having a car with no door handles. The good news is that you can achieve this look with any make or model of car without actually having to buy and install new doors. Any professional body shop can handle a process called shaving. If you are experienced in body work, you can do the work in your own garage.

Shaving

Shaving a cars door handles is a very simple process. You simply remove the door handle hardware and trim. Once that is completed, you fill in the hole with your favorite body work filler and sand it down to make it even with the rest of the door. Once the door is smooth and sanded to a finish, you need only to prime and paint it. It is usually a good idea to go ahead and sand down and repaint the whole door, since making a small patch of new paint blend with the older paint can be very difficult. Many people choose to do this type of body work before undergoing a full car repaint.

Openers

Once you have shaved the door handles, you have to addres the issue how you are going to get the doors to open. Luckily, someone solved this problem long ago. You can buy any number of automatic door-popping kits from online retailers and car part stores. These kits use a spring locking mechanism and a key fob, much like automatic door locks. Many of the higher-end kits can even be programmed to work with your existing key fob. You simply press a button, and the door pops open for you. For an even more unique style, install a pneumatic door-opening kit, which opens the door wide with just the press of a button.

Permanence

This modification is a permanent one. If you want to reverse this and have handles on your car doors again, you need buy a brand new car door to replace the handleless one. There is simply no-cost effective way to remove all the welding and body filler and reinstall working door handles.
