Go to a professional and have them do it. Make sure they install poppers with external battery. My friend had a cavalier (rice-mobile) with shaved doors and apparently the past three owners ran the battery dead and couldn't get into the car. Locksmith screwed up both doors and now noone can open the doors. I had to bust out the back glass in her convertible top just to even get into the car and then dukes of hazard style all the time lol. To each their own but I most deff would not do it. And it being a 2g, I have seen three handles break on my friends 96. Buy new from dealer and it should be fine.

You guys love missing the point. People look for answers, but instead they just get a bunch of bullshit opinions on what you think would be coolest, or farthest from rice.

Not sure where to put the solenoid on a DSM, but I do have shaved door handles/trim on my Fiero so I must be a ricer.

LoL that's what I did for 2 weeks with my mustang ... I even sold the car with no door lock working !
What a shame it was ...
I went trough all the exterior picture thread and I haven't seen one with shave doors ...
"Keep fixing? What are you doing to them? I don't know anyone who repeatedly breaks door handles."
I am down with the shaved door handles too. I have seen plenty regular handles break. In the winter they break easy. As to the shaving them part, I will have to get back to you on this. I haven't personally did it, but I seen somewhere that gives great advice on doing it on a 2g eclipse. Just have to find it again.

I love forums! You ask one question, you get everything but the answer. Yes i like shaved doors, yes i can do the body work, No i don't care who or what you guys think of them, i just wanted to know if there was a place to put the solenoid with out fabing anything. The exterior door handle has nothing to do with my question, i can still have door handles on the outside with door poppers installed, I'm not but just saying. Am i justifying haveing them??? TO who, if i like something ill get it. so never mind on my ? close this thread.

Idk why this thread isn't closed yet unless the mods haven't seen it. It has got to be frustrating to not get an answer. Just a bunch of stupid comments from a bunch of asshats. Time to close yet?

Alright, I admit I have shaved door handles, here's a picture of where I put the solenoid... I had to cut away some of the door to clear a path for the wire going from the latch to she solenoid. I had them this way for the past 4 years and never failed me once!
Wow, I'm the only one that helped you...

I just use the key hole for the rear hatch and crawl through the back if the battery dies, which I never had to do unless my car is parked for the winter and i disconnect the battery on purpose.

No I don't have power door locks, but that won't matter since you wont need to ever lock your door when you have shaved door handles because there won't be a door handle on the outside.
