Should I shave/smooth?

horrible idea

Can't wait to get it back from the core support replacement so I can yank the motor and start on that next! more welding!!!

I am sure you mean a passive transponder that locks/unlocks the doors for you automatically? They make them.

That too. Been years since I opened a door on a vette. Want to say it was an 08. When you put your hand in the handle you don't actually move the handle. It had either a sensor that released latch or buttons.

smoother the better. especially on the 94-98 body.

Only bad part I would see happening is getting gas inside my trunk if I am not careful filling it otherwise the tank is sealed.

I still like behind the tail light better

A hinged tail light would definitely be a cool way to hide a gas filler.

A guy on my truck forum did that to his Tahoe. Much simpler with my style truck rather than the mustang though.

Hiding the gas cap would be cool, but would it be safe? like all the venting and what not.


as for the scoops, id leave them alone.

i wanna see

yea that look killer but I think with the ends that we have on either end of the lights it would be hard. Probably going to go with he trunk.

Now the door handles have had me thinkin a bit. What if I shaved the handle/hole and moved them down so that they are in the concave area that leads into the brake vent and then did a flush-mount handle? When its aired out and looking down it would look shaved and if I could flush them nicely in that area I think it would smooth it out but keep the functionality. What do you think?

saw a new-edge with a hinged tail lights.... couldnt find it again.... last i saw it was in 05/06 when I had my V6.... back in the "Myspace Groups" days.... lol.

Those are cool but I really just wan something where the handle will be nearly perfectly flush with the door panel outside.

Is there any reason we would need to remove our back bumper?

Seriously is there a reason we need to remove our back bumper short of repair/replacing it? Thinking about smoothing it into the fenders.

I can't think of any reason. smooth away
good luck preventing it from cracking, urathane bumper and steel fender will expand and contract at different rates. You should be good for about 2-3 years before you start seeing signs

Yea with everything that I am smoothing I would expect to have some spots pop up after some time. Another reason I have been wanting to take on my own paint...

Ah damn found an answer both for my door handles and the gas cap but they ain't cheap!

ho chit, that's pricy, but it would be a sweet way to do it

Yea I love the straight bar style handle myself. The gas-cap is ok but I think I would rather hide it behind a panel in the trunk... As for the door handles these are close and certainly a lot cheaper...

Terrible idea. That area is much too wide, thin, and flexible to hold up very long. This is in addition to the other reasons that make this a poor choice that have already been addressed.
