well i dont have a tool box on my truck, and im kinda considering doing the 3 passenger doors first, see how i like it, before i take the final plundge and do my drivers door too. Do yall think it would be a little weird if i only had one handle. And right now, paint is way out of the picture, b.c i have like no money.

the door poppers are gonna really suck the first time you leave them in your truck and close the door... got and extra window laying around? I shaved the handles on my van before a junked it. it was cool for a minute... kinda like the bags. but really a big pain. I recommend painting the handles instead. nice clean look without the hassle. in other words don't do it. expect to pay at least 5000 for a decent paint job

My handles are painted already. And my concern is people breaking into my truck, already had one attempt, and second, the damage under the handle as a result of the break in attempt, and how my handle feels like you are going to break it off the truck when you pull up on it to open the door.

Just my 2 cents would be cheaper then doing that

My truck was broken into tonight, stole a Garmin GPS, Cell phone, roommate's car keys, V1 remote display. Not only did the A$$hats jimmy the door, they DID BOTH, so now I have a hole the size of a quarter on both doors underneath the door handle. Sucks and I will be installing some type of sheild etc like the link above when I get the doors fixed. I honostly dont see how they can fix them without serious work.

yup for a daily driver... dont shave your handles... its a pain in the **** to remember to pull your keys everytime.. or leave your window down. ive only locked myself out once... bt luckly i thought ahead and installed another way to open the door.
