for example door handles, they cut the handle out and replace the area with metal so it is smooth with the rest of the panel, its an old hot rod mod
p.s. eclipse looks great
~notice no door handles~

How the hell do you open a shaved car?

[iceblend]

Maybe a remote control?

[willimo]

Actually, yeah. A little remote, like you would use for keyless entry or power locks. But instead of unlocking the door, the solenoid pops the door open a little bit so you can catch it by the edge and open it. Most also have a button somewhere hidden that you can push that will actuate the door release, bypassing the solenoid for when your battery is dead.

[Zwaag]

yep your exactly right, the button for min is under the car, but ew'll have to move it when the sideskirts are put on(wont be able to reach it.)

[supratuner]

I like it, the color is nice and i would like to see more pics of the engine tho.

[Zwaag]

Take pictures with a normal camera and when you get them developed ask for pictures on a cd. Usually you can zoom and crop images without getting them blurry.

[Zwaag]

Is there any way I can do it with my Digi-cam? I dont have a "normal" one
