Instead of shaving your door handles, why not put that money towards better mods...like wheels, suspensions, etc...
I too think shaved handles are rice on a Lexus...

Okay, thanks for the clarification. So what's the point? And how do you ope the door without handles? I assume the remote does that, but if it f**** up:eek:
I agree that there are better things to make a lexus more "trick"

Door handles - superfluous or nice extra?
So, in a nutshell:
Hundreds of Toyota engineers spend years desiging the nearly perfect car, and yet they somehow screwed-up and put door handles on the car. Anyone's first thought on entering the Lexus lot is "Nice car, but what brainiac designed that? It would look WAY cooler without door handles. And, as a side benefit, if my remote ever broke, got lost, or locked in the car, I'd get to use the 'Jaws of Life' to pry my way back into my car".

jtparkes - Hehehe...thanks, that made me laugh!
Seriously, shaved handles can have issues you don't want. I see RICERS with shaved handles come in and out of various shops for various problems...REAL MODS, not honda-level mods. You're modding a LEXUS...
How about putting better brakes in your ride? How about some nice 20's (good ones, not POS Giovannas or Lexani's)? How about a nice JDM body kit? Coilovers? STANDARD MAINTENANCE? Etc., etc...so many better ways to blow your cash...

rice or not i like shaved door handles, just be sure you can get a safety inspection after you do it.......get a soleniod override handle (a device that you could pull to release the solenoid) kinda like the one that's found in the first-aid compartment. (for the gas tank). so that when the batt. dies, you could still open the door(s).
