Default Shaved Door Handles - Recommendations Wanted

I really wanted to shave my door handles because I think it gives a really streamlined look. I know some would think this is a ridiculous mod, but I want to think about it.

I thought I would ask everyone if they have recommendations on kits or equipment to do it. I know Halo Super Cars has some inserts for sale that can be welded in but what about all the rest of the equipment needed. Does anyone have an idea of what a shop might charge to do this? Any local shops that you might recommend.

Thanks everyone.

Shaved handles are on the drawing board !!! I had the handles shaved on my camaro and loved it !!!
The auto-loc kit is all u need !!! I used the 18 function remote for the 4 door application n it had all of what I needed n more !!!
I was actually wanting to go with the touch system !!! It's ridiculously priced though !

I used the two door kit from AutoLoc 10 years ago and paid WAY TOO MUCH
never order directly from them !!!
The upcoming Good-guys show will have more than a few vendors selling these kits !!!

Thanks so much for posting all of the links. I was looking on Amazon yesterday and saw a cheaper kit, but I now realize it was only a two door kit. It seems like i would want to go with the 50lb solenoids. I read Bubbamagnum used 40lbs, but I was going to add some weight with sound deadening material and I don't want to not use strong enough poppers.

I see the kit on Amazon has an 8 function remote yet I've seen some with even more functions like you mentioned. what do you do with all the functions besides opening the doors. The amazon kit seems like a good deal.
