I bought the AAS kit and its going to the body shop in a week. I am having the bumpers and the skirts molded into the fenders so I'll have no body lines. The entire car is gonna be repainted as well. A few friends want me to shave the handles but I dont have any extra money for the poppers. So my options are...

1. Shave just the back handles off and put them in the front so there will be no key hole.

2. Shave it all and take out a loan.

3. Leave all 4 handles.

Any input or more options would be great. But hurry, I only have til wed. to decide cause thats when it goes to the shop.

Shave em! Poppers should only run ya about 100 or so. NO need for poppers in the rear doors.

if shaving is what you want to do, then i would say to do it now while you're already getting work done....more than likely if you hold it off, you may never do it.

is this something i should have done by my body shop or is it easy enough that i can do it on my own? perhaps someone could point me towards a tutorial on this....i guess i dont understand how it would work with a viper alarm system.

Thanks for the input guys. I figure I might as well go into debt a little bit further and shave it. I'll post some pics when its all done.

turbo-alero you have a pm about your solenoids.

I never thought about people not being able to break in easier without handles. Saves me some money for an alarm now. I was gonna have one installed after it came back from the shop.
