Kinda cool, but a bit tacky and a waste of money to do on a Yaris. The cars that have this system as stock are really awesome, with touch-sensitive pads that pop the doors open if you touch them when it's unlocked.

LOL, oh echo... our very own resident Photochop expert.

After seeing it, I don't think it does enough for the body lines on this car to justify all the work. It is a PITA.

My show trucks all nicely shaven.

Solenoids pop each door via a button on my alarms remote. Poppers are installed inside the door jabs for when the solenoid pulls the door cable, the tension of the popper, "pops" the door open.

No finger nail grabing here.

i can't believe how many times that articles says this is really easy to do...

"this should be an easy mod for you to do."

"... shaving door handles is not that difficult to do"

"... you should have no trouble at all."

"Shaving door handles is not that complicated"

"That's all there is to it!"

Since the handles are color matched they dont stick out a whole lot. I guess to each his own. The money could be better spent elsewhere I think.

I totally agree. The rear hatch handle is a total eye sore.
