Thumbs up for doing something different, I am sure shaving door handles isn't for everyone, but if you like it!

Please tell us this is something you're going to take care of, like installing a whole new bumper, maybe some rare VIP style body kit straight from Japan?!

Please pardon, but at the moment I don't see where this build is going, def not VIP way.

P.S. If you want other forum members to appreciate the quality of the paint job, to see just how much work was put in this build, consider buying quality camera ans study the basics of photography or ask your whoever is into photography to take the shots!

Good luck!

Shaved stuff is for mini trucks. What happened to the gas door? That's the only reason I looked through this whole thread!! Without that extra effort it's just... Shaved doors.
