im plannin on gettin my handles shaved and im just wondering if i should get a 35 lb or 50lb , what do u guys think i should buy? Im thinkin 50 lbs.

 

what does the lbs mean ? the type of stuff used to fill the handles? or something else... sorry i have no idea what you are talking about.

 

i think hes talkin bout the door poppers.......go with the 50's

 

if you can find 60-70lbs i woudl recommened it our dorrs weight so goddamn munch that your soleids will burn if you get like a 35-40.

 

yeah go wit 50 or up i have my handles shaved and id recommend 50 at the least cuz our doors are super heavy..as a matter of fact im trying to upgrade mine to 75

 

50, at a minimum

 

where is the best place to get the kits and has any one found 75lbs yet?????

 

that shit is illegal. u now that right

 

everythings illegal to you...my roomate did auto lock...and the poppers are great...but the alarm and the little key fob are the biggest piece of shit...he says he wishes he went with something else....FYI

 

it is? I've never heard that, what's the law?

 

same question

 

It's not Illegal. You can have shaved doors and poppers all day long.

 

 

I was going to get shaved handles, but came to the conclusion that if something ever broke, i.e poppers dont work, battery died, etc etc, i didnt feel like smashing a window to get in my car

 

that wouldn't be the case, on my suburban I have an emergency cord under the car that only I know where it's at. That's how EVERYONE i've ever known who has poppers does.


but in all honesty it took me a long time to get the poppers straight and working permanently. I still have a hard time w/ the rear latch for the door. I think it's just cause the door is so heavy and the solenoid feels like it doesn't get full juice all the time. I've got two new deep cycles that i've been waiting to put in, should hopefully solve the problem

 

i've never heard otherwise

 

nah i heard that if u get pulled over and the cop asks

u to get outta the car and he goes to open the door

he can give u a ticket, they actually are not street legal

im like 80 percent sure. never been in the situation,

ive just heard this (maybe a fool told me and im wrong )

 

sounds like a fool told you

i've never heard of the cop opening the door when asking you to get out of the car

 

I admit to ignorance here: what are "shaved handles"? Can somebody elaborate a bit, please?

Z

 

you get rid of the door handles and put in a cover plate so it's all flush

 

my suburban has shaved door handles

 

hey clpower howd u do the emergency cord? id like to do it since my car has failed on me b4 and i had to break into it...and what are these deep cycles u speak of would they help me out also?..(pm me wit details please)

 

the shop the did it didn't install an emergency cord, or even recommend one? I use to just have a cord that went underneath that I could pull and it would manually open the latch. But that kinked and busted so I installed a little nob I can pull down behind the wheel well that will open either of the doors manually. Do you atleast have a manual latch inside for emergency's? Do you have a button hooked up inside or do you have to use the key fob always? I also installed a little switch inside to open the doors.


I'm about to take the rear solenoid apart, if I need to put the car on a lift to get to it I'll snatch some pics of the emergency tabs I put in.



By deep cycles I was just referring to batteries, I have two huge deep cycle batteries in it powering everything. My family owns a deep cycle battery company www.trojanbattery.com Wouldn't help you in your situation.

 

i dont kno the people that installed it i bought the car shaved...but i looked for an emergency latch n there was none which i cant blame the person for not doing cuz i live in NY and they look to steal my car...ive already had about 4 attempts to steal my car already (i could tell from the bent silver molding on top of the door and scratches on the inside of the door) back when i first got it and once was from my fuckin driveway!...but id like to find a way to put in a concealed safety latch that i would only recognize just in case

 

yea, i'll get some pics of my setup, otherwise go find a good body shop. Shouldn't be hard at all. Contact Ross and see what he says.

 

and ross would be who?...dustbuster?...i do need a good bodyshop forreal too...still have damage from when i hydroplaned into a divider...and the seal around the mold for my shaved doors cracked on the drivers side n that shit looks horrible...not to mention the attempted break in damage....

 

i want to shave them and then get a lambo door kit what would you recommend? To many to chose from and i dont want to waste my money ya know.

 

ross is rmstioco (forget the spelling, but I know he shaved his handles and i'm pretty sure he did it on caspers car too)

 

actually..there is a law concerning the shaved handles in some states...it not enforced much..but its just a "hazard" to cops..if they need to get you out of the car(to arrest or search), they cant open your door, they would have to reach inside....i learned this when i was edumacated.....

 

middle finger to the law!
