there's a universal kit that you can buy for that, i think summit racing has it.

What if your remote opener kit ever fails? Handles were put on cars for a reason...

personally, the only reason I would do that kind of customizing is if it was a show car, not necessarily a daily driver. I don't have that kind of faith in electronics. I wonder if you could go totally keyless and shave the ignition for a remote start?

when you shave the handles you, usually, put a button on the car that will trip the solenoid into opening the door. shaving handles does look nice, but its a bunch of work getting it right. i helped a friend shave my tailgate handle and it took FOREVER to get it right. the welder gets the metal hot and then it wants to disform. if you're going to do it let a professional do it. the guy that done my tailgate handle was a professional and it was still a major pain. trunk lock probably wouldn't be that bad. good luck if you go with it.:D

shave your handles, antenna, trunk key, and anything that sticks off the body :)

I think it'll look nice, good luck!

Why would it be "ghey" to shave the antenna??? I think it'd look nice to not have an antenna sitting there. GM used to have more than one model w/ the antenna deleted & the wire in the windshield for the antenna. Ever think a stubby antenna might be "ghey" to someone else? I don't like stubby's but I'm not gonna insult someone for having one.
