I wouldn't. In fact I have seen issues with tech at the drag strip if you do not have functioning door handles.

Thanks Brian, I was going to post that question about Tech in my original post but forgot.

There are only a few things that should ever be shaved, the first is NSFW, and the rest don't include vehicles haha

I wouldn't. Like Brian said, I've seen people run into issues teching in with them like that.

Plus IMO your truck looks perfect like it is.

Let me tell you the real reason I posted this, Looks were second, Security was first in my mind. No locks or door handles to pry open.
Now that my truck is within the 20 yard line and heading into the in zone with only a small blocker in her way. I am getting paranoid about someone wanting her more than me.
I am almost ready to take out my remote start, don't feel comfortable letting it run without me in it. and Believe me I love my remote start.

This was just debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show
http://www.c3autopageusa.com/

I already have a few things up my sleeve to keep people from starting it. But I want two or three layers of security on her.

I always thought this was cool when I saw it.

You can shave the roof lights and put in recessed flush leds.



And the lights on the side of the bed.



I wouldn't shave the door handles though.

^^ That is sweet^^
Yeah Mark, shave the tailgate if you want but don't do the door handles. Both Sac and Infineon will send you packing. Color-matched looks good anyway.

Dude, I wouldn't worry about it (security) too much. It's not like everyone is out to steal trucks and it looks fairly stock to most anyhow.
