This idea just popped into my head. Has anybody seen or heard of shaving the door handles on a Z? If so any pics? Also, I dont remember where I saw this but the 15000 mile warranty servicing? Fact or fiction & why?

ive been thinking about doing this since i got my car because everyone i know said they hated the handles at first. Ive now pretty much decided i like them so i think that im going to paint them instead. although im really interested in seeing what it looks like.

the handles on the Z can be shaved just like any other car, it won't be cheap and honestly I don't really trust a door without handles, keeping in mind the window has to be lowered a touch when opening the door, lots of welding a painting to do on a 1 year old car? plus the actuators and electronic's, could get real expensive real fast

I agree. IMHO the door handles make the car! here's a photochop...

Well I'll be different and say I like them shaved off. It has a much cleaner, sleeker, lines.
