When you fill your door handles with bondo or something and then paint them over. You then have to either get door poppers to open the door or a remote window roller to roll them down so you can open the door from the inside.

Ok stupid...(LOL) shaving door handles means you no longer have them. When this happens you either need a way to roll down the windows remotely or a "door popper" to pop the door. Here is a kit.

Actually, if they fill your door handles with Bondo, you will soon find out that heat/cold will cause the outline to show through. They should use a spare metal piece to weld on the exterior/interior and grind down the edges and finish with bondo. As for the poppers, they are just actuators that "pop" your door open enough for you to grab it to pull it open. Your interior handles will still work and all other related equipment. http://www.cardomain.com/id/elmolives will show you an in progress pic on page 8.
Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.<hr></blockquote><p>and if they do a job well enough with the spot-welding and grinding and matching the aluminum piece to the same contour of the car, you might not even need bondo. the point is to use as little bondo/bodyfiller as possible mainly because of what kevin gettens said. if you just fill the hole with bondo, that's not good.
