What do you mean you can't open the doors with shaved handles???


The grille makes sense now, I forgot it fit inside the stock shell.

Nice grille

Nice looking grille, really interested to see it installed, might look better than my black chrome stock grille. Also I saw a black panel last week in Anaheim with a Mercedes grille complete with emblem, kinda disconcerting from the front until you see the panels and rear end of it.

solenoids burn up easy. once they do you cant open the door cause you have no handle to pull. if the handle breaks you can take it to chevy and they fix it. if i shave the handles and something messes up its my problem. it doesnt matter how much work i have done to everything else i just dont want one thing that has to be done over and over. you can get gear driven poppers that are more reliable now but when i had my truck, big solenoids were the only option. since water gets between your glass and weather stripping when it rains solenoids dont last too long. plus they have a high inrush current which is hard on wiring, so there are relays that can mess up too. i want to get in my car and drive it with little to no problems. but wait..... its bagged too. ***** there are a lot of problems with that. i guess i could lose the bags and go back to stock with that.... no ill keep them. i have picked my battles and decided that bags are worth the trouble shaved handles arent. i wonder ho much i could add to this story. about 3-4 more words but ill just stop now. no now
