I want to shave my door handles on my eclipse. My question is, after I remove my handles do I fill the hole with bondo or do I use resin? Any advise? Oh, And there are different poppers. Like 35lb or 80lb and so on. What would you suggest?

well, thats one way to do it. i would recomend doing it this way
1. stip your intire door. if you can, take it off, and use an automotve body stand to hold the door.
2. cut out a peice of sheet metal to put over the hole, use a vice and automove body hammer to bend the metal to the conture of the door, its best to buy a conture tool from sears for $10 when your doing this.
3. using a 5 or 6in grider, grind off all the paint down to the metal around the area of your hole. spot weld the sheet metal onto the door, and use the grinder then to smooth out all the spot welds & sheet metal to the conture of the body (agian good reasion to spend that $10 for the conture gage at sears)
4. use an good sheet metal hammer to tap out any dents you might have, or use filler like bondo. thats about all there is to it.
