shave 'em off!! the moldings atleast..... i shaved them off my accord, and it looks soooo much cleaner. you dont really appreciated shaved moldings until u have them

btw, a good bodyshop will weld the holes closed from the rear, them bondo them smooth. the doors will need to be repainted. if i were to shave the handles, i would only shave the rears. that way if u have trouble with the solenoids, you can still get in ur car. its also quicker to get into ur car with a handle :P
