Shaved Door Handles

I have had my truck broken into twice in the past 3 years and both times it was because they used a tool to completely destroy the key hole. We found out who did the last break in and I got all my stuff back. Because of that I decided to go ahead and shave my door handles for the look and security and I must say it looks pertty sweet.

Im not sure what the color is called but I know that it's ppg paint and it didn't cost much because they said it was a GM factory color. I haven't seen this color on a GM vehicle though.

There was a small chip on the passenger rear quarter panel and their gonna touch that up for me and when they do I'll check to see what it is actually called. House of color has a color similar called Lime Time Green.

well heres a pic of the whole truck. I just took this pic today. It just rolled out of the paint booth friday so I just got a chance to take a pic today because it has been raining here in Tx.
I have a remote with 2 buttons that opens the doors. 1 button for the drivers door and the other button for the passenger door...pertty sweet huh?


P.S my system has a backup incase the battery runs out...But im the only one who knows where it's at on the truck and how to use it.(At least I think I know how to use it) But it pops the passenger door open incase of a battery falure.

OK. I'm a newbie (and old). Your truck has no door handles and you call them "shaved"? What covers the hole? Body work? This looks really neat. I will probably have to do it too.

What is covering the hole is a welded in peice of sheet metal. To make it smooth they covered it in puddy and sanded it to make it match the body lines. So it looks like nothing was ever really there.

I saw where you ordered the hardware. What kind of shop installs those things? Is it all done at the same place or does the body work have to be done somewhere else?
