Default Poll on shaved door handles etc..

Just wanted to take a poll on what you all think..
I was thinking about "Shaving" my door handles and Gas lid. I love the clean look of the doors with out the handles and no door guards either. Just a nice clean door.
The. The gas lid. I hate the way the gas lid looks. I will either install one of the gas lids that look like they are for racing (somewhat what the Dogde Challenger has) or move the gas ld to behind the line plate behind the rear tail light. The taillight would be hinged so the gas cap would be behind the light itself. Just a nice clean and shaved look. Hell I even want to do something EXTREAMLY drastic in the future (if I live long enough..lol.. ) I was actually day dreaming and though of having my hood open like the Dodge Vipper. The fenders would be split in half (top n bottom) then I would basiclly be "Molding" itinto the hood, then hinged backwards, just like the Viper. If you've seen the mods I want to compleat with the front n back, this would without a doubt put it over the top. I just want differant. God only knows if il have the. Energy or health to do it. But if I do, it is at least gonna be started. ...... Just wanted opinions on what others think..

Of corse, this is after I get tis thing SuperCharged.... One way or another...
Just wondering also, can the Supercharger from the L67 fit the L36 series 2. ??

Hey, thanks for reading and hope I get some good imput... Mjclemm..

Hi `MJ, I added a poll to your thread .
I like the shaved look `if it's done professionally & blends in with the `bod.

I also liked shaved keyholes. Good Luck & let us know `if you do it...

hey man i agree with shaving them, i want to shave turbo monte's door handles eventually as well.

as far as the l67 sc on a l36 it can be done but you have to install l67 heads, lim, sc, all the pulleys, injectors, and wiring on to your l36 and then tune it.

I say don't do it. I had a friend that had shaved handles and let me tell ya it's not fun when the battery dies (in the car or in the remote). And just remember, if you keep the car long enough, you're going to have to re-do the handles that were filled in. Now the gas cap idea... I'd like to see.

Just being totally honest not a fan of shaved handles, not sure how I feel about the gas cap though.

I will have a back up "just i case" what started me thinking was the trunk looked so nice without the key hole, i figured the entire car would look better...
