Nice work. Let me guess, gonna paint it blue? Ha ha. What did you use to paint the trim parts? I'm going with a black/red scheme myself. Haven't investigated possible coloring solutions yet though. I can say however that to spice up the interior you could put those tube lights under the dash for a sweet glow at night. Not bright enough to bug the fuzz either.

Looks cool. Do you have a remote door opener? Not sure how them shaved handles work. Shave them moldings too, look really nice.

I think one day i just decided to make my car look different, so i thougt i'd change the interior a bit, i might actually re do it all and sand the pieces down and give them a metallic look

So do you just have 45lb solenoids? Or do you have the little spring things as well? I have 75lbs solenoids and am not sure if that's all I need to be able to "pop" the door open since the handle is shaved.

yea i just got 45 lb solenoids and no springs, have you installed yours yet, i'd like to know what 75 lb ones can really do.

No they're not installed yet because my car has been in the paint shop for almost 4 and 1/2 months now. *excuse me while I go to bawl my eyes out* But it will hopefully be done pretty soon and then once it is I'm going to drive it straight over to the electronics place to get it installed.
I honestly would really like to install them myself but, I cannot seem to be able to pop the door panel off. After removing all the screws I then take out my window crank remover tool and it seems that I'm doing more damage *tearing the vinyl* then good. So, I just don't know. Any suggestions on that would be taken with great appreciation.

i'd just go to the nearest gas station and use their window cleaner, i used to have LED lights instead of washers anyway and i never really missed them, so i figured i'll just get rid of them

well i'll be honest with you im not as impressed as i wanted to be. The doors pop open just enough so they dont relatch and sometimes it does relatch so u have to press the button again, i'm gonna try and install some actuators to help
