Default 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.

How else would he get in?

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
