Shave door handle

[Seraph]

Was reading this website and I don't understand what it is talking about :unsure:

or there mayb a small button to open

Correcto.... you use a remote to open the doors. And there's a button that you can hide to open the doors if the remote dies.

dunno abt other's taste.. but cosmetically to me, it looks really damn cool without door handles :wub:...

Would be good for Alfa 156 owners, coz the rear door handle is hidden but can see the front ones, abit weird :rolleyes:

hmm.. i have these while i was in the states... back in 1996.

basically, it's an accessory that lets u open your door via a remote, regardless you have door handle or not. Most people installed this in anticipation of shaving off the door handle.

The thing is pretty basic. just like auto lock and unlocking, there's an additional solenoid which trigger a motor that opens the door. There's a stopper installed with it, so that the door won't swing open all the way, rather just popped out a bit, like popping up your front hood.

I had it on my Civic EF before and shaved the door handle. Definitely makes the car look nicer and cleaner.

oh, the on-board release button just releases one door. so, it's either the driver side or passenger side. I had it wired to the boot of the car and disguised the button as one of the controls on my preamp. :D hehehe.

What if emergency? Car on fire? Car in river? Dangerous man, rescuers don't know how to open door :ph34r:

there is an optional emergency release remote which will trigger all door to open. There's also an optional emergency release relay that would be wired to your airbag. In case of an accident, when the airbag pops, the door lock releases. Could be good.. could be bad. :)

that's the downside of having this. all in the name of stylo... hehe

yep.. quite easy to DIY actually. When i bought the stuff, it came with complete instruction and step by step procedure. That's life in US, most people DIY because labor charges are very high. But the shaving part, that one i send to my friend's body shop to do la. hehe.. need to take the door handle off the car, along with the keyhole at the door, then weld some metal in it's place (stitch weld kinda thing) and then sand it to make it smooth. Then cement it and other things related before respraying.

:ph34r: uikkk :ph34r:

hmmm...kind of cool...

 

[rakuen]

just wondering.. wat if your battery runs out though... like if you left your headlights on and drained your batt? is there a way to open the door still?

 

[Seraph]

from a security point of view.
is it much safer?
since don't have keyhole for car jackers to korek?

 

[BenWang]

Anybody done this in Malaysia before? Sounds promising

I haven't noticed any but might try it myself if I can find workshop that does it.
