Holy cr$%, sweet deal. I was soaked for about $1070 cdn. We really get ripped off here in Canada on truck parts, its a shame.

I just wanted to post a couple of pics showing the shaved doors. I did all the work myself except paint and the clear. I think they turned out well.

Drivers side doesn't have one either. I was sick and tired of people trying to break in around the handles so I removed them and installed remote poppers with a back-up power supply and manual open in case everything goes dead. I also set it up so I can roll down the windows with the remote just for fun.

shaved handles always do get peoples attention when you tell them to get in.

I wanted to leave the emblems just to break up all of the red. There seems to be a lot of sheet metal when your close to the truck.

I do plan on shaving the tail gate and using another remote solenoid this summer. I have two tailgates so I won't feel so bad if it doesn't turn out the way I want. But for the gate I think I'm going mount a '09 Ford emblem where the handle is now or just below it with a frenched plate and a custom roll pan that hopefully won't look too ricey.
