Shave your handles, shave your turn signals, shave your rear lights, suicide doors, z-shark fenders, etc, etc, etc......

I agree with 2000Low&Show here.
Shave the handles, and trunk keyhole. Take the stock fenders off, and have a body shop hammer them into widebody flairs (there's enough metal there to do it if you hammer out the crease, then have them cut/hammer in shark gills (most sharks have 5 gills), then, if you want a serious project, sissor or suicide/reverse the doors, but I don't think tibby doors would look right opening from the rear.

Hey was your car in the Readers rides section of Import Tuner. It sure sounds like it was the same car. Cool...I would also go the shaved route or custom roll cage.

thanks guys....
1st. forced induction.....other then nitrous im not that really big on it. supercharger/turbo is a good mod but only if i raced alot or i knew my car could handle it. supercharger doesnt put enough power out for me and turbo does but i just dont have time to do the maintenance on it. besides. i dont need to go fast to go to work
)
tinted windows. well they were tinted at one point but after i did my interior that junk came straight off. i love the look of no tint. even though i live in texas.
shaving everything. i was thinking about shaving the doors and the rear hatch hole but i just dont want the thingy's to go out smile.gif i know they most likely wont go out at the same time but what if the remote dies. there isnt a way for me to get in.
i wanted to butterfly my doors but my door panels arent done that good so i really wouldnt want to open them that much smile.gif how much would this cost? est..
random? really. whoa that sounds like a challenge. unfortunately i dont think any shop in town can do that stuff. they probably can but wont. and if they do they'll hurt me like a mofo with the price.
yeah that was my little 1" picture in import tuner.
i wouldnt mind getting a custom roll cage. i called monkey bars and they said only if i drove there. umm...no thanks...noone around here can. i looked......

Can't you still get into the trunk with the lever inside the car (by the gas door lever), even with a power remote release? You could still use the interior lever without the exterior lock, even if you didn't get a remote release for the trunk. (Some variation of shaving the trunk lock is high on my list)

Hide a switch somewhere on the outside that will let you open the door if the remote goes out.

Monkey Bars are evil. To have THAT MUCH metal going all over the interior of your car, but to have it installed, as they claim, "with no drilling necessary" sounds like a decapitation waiting to happen. It's not designed to be an actual safety roll cage. It would do more harm than good in the event of any serious accident.
