      i really hate door poppers..

      i looked into other options, different handles like the flush ones on the aston martins, the sonic rear located up higher, etc.

      its just too little gain at this point for the work.. any ideas?

      believe me, if you buy them for me, ill put them in. Those are not above my skill level, but the cost of a tesla door is about the price of an aveo. And I don't think i can find used.

      I am toying with an idea for sonic style handles up on the pillar.

      Car looks like it is a stand still. but it is finish sanding, fitting, cutting, etc. Nothing that can be easily seen in pictures.

      Very cool innovations rabbit, looks like you are rolling along at a good clip by the progress! Very tedious, if not back breaking work indeed. Do you have a finish color/scheme picked out yet?

      handles off a sedan would be "ok" but the fronts would need done to match, and the doors are different so its not easy to just swap out..

      I did pick a color..

      only paint what can be seen..
