My new mod........door handles
I went to a salvage yard and got a pair of rear door handles off of a wrecked 94 Accord and had them painted. I am going to put them in my front doors so that I would have the look of shaved key holes. I will post pics in a while of the job.

BTW...I never use my keyhole, but I'm glad it's there just in case ya know. But it would be different...kinda cool looking I guess.

What if your car battery dies and the keyless entry doesn't work? I went on vacation for a week and my battery died. I couldn't open the car using keyless, had to use the key. Weird mod, I don't think it's worth the hassle.

it does look really clean, good job, but yeah i had a friend with keyless entry and no key hole and his remote was dead so there was no way for him to get in his car, i think its a good idea to have a manual way to open it just in case
