Deleting the door handles was always something I wanted to do but Jon definitely confirmed the fact. It's just too damn sexy looking and cool not to.

no handles is cool, but make sure you wire it right, and you lube the seals good for winter. The guy who wired my Jetta made it so only the drivers door opens with the poppers and in the winter the doors do freeze shut. But I love the way they look.
