The trunk lock opens like a gas filler door on a newer car with a lever inside the car and the doors open with a hand held electronic Popper . like the new cars have now to open the locks .

Nice man!
Whats the legaliy of having shaved door handles where you are? Alot of places it's illegal incase of emergency.
Have you got a hidden handle somewhere?

Re: New guy ... new toy
I have no idea if they are legal here.... door poppers are electronic , on a key chain like most newer cars to open door locks . Plus a hidden button on the exterior of body . ...tonkatoy

I'm in the process of putting the door handles back in . .. That poper was a pain in the b... It's so much easier to use a door handle and I think it will look better also !

Very cool I think I may have taken a look at that car last year. If it's the same one glad it went to a good home.
