Door Question

[Yeahyouknwit]

Ok so i love the idea of having a smooth sleek looking door. I am thinking about gitting rid of the door handles and having the doors open by the puch of a button. I dont know how this can work tho since everything is intergraded with the key. Im thinking the only way to do it is to get an aftermarket key fop but since the key fop for our new car is on the actual key i dont know if it will work. Any ideas if this can actually be done?

it wud be a serious project if ur talking completely eliminating the handles, smooth molding over where they were, and repainting it.

but i think it cud be done. as for the internals - replace the lock w/ a button switch to activate the lock motor (it wud be like pressing the button on your FOB, but hardwired inside the door)

i'm not sure how much it would interfere with the security system tho

yeah thats what im wondering but i love the look. My friends da has an old skool GTO without handles and it looks amazing. I know its a lot of work but i just want to get peoples opinions if it can actually be done.

i say if you're going to do that you should just swap out for lambo doors... just my opinion though...

let me tell you - ANYTHING can be done...look @ this M5 BMW some aussie made into a 'ute' . goes to show the lack of limitations to modding cars

I don't know about using a remote but a guy I went to school with did this to his car for extra credit. It took him about 2 weeks but he only worked on it during school hours as he didn't have the equipment at home. He had his hooked up to a button which he hid in the rear fender well.

Lambo doors? Oh Hell No! those are way to overused. they dont look good on anything except lambos

In high school I had a red civic si that I boosted and modded and what not...don't flame me! that was 5 years ago. ANYWAYS, I had shaved door handles as well, and I loved them. I personally never had a problem with them. But then again I'm not sure how different the insides are of the 5th gen compared to my 00' SI ,but im just gonna guess and say its MUCH different haha...So, my opinion says go for it. It will look amazing and if your turns out good, then I'll do it haha...here is a link of the kit I used. let me know what you think

I think you should weld the doors shut and just use the windows to get in and out of your car.
