Who knows what materials/ process to use? I'm finding many body shops in my area won't do the work or they tell me they will begin cracking very soon. I understand the doors are made of polyurethane allowing them to flex and vibrate causing them to crack over time. One guy is offering me a 2 year warranty on his work, he plans to fill them with a peice of plastic, then using kitty hair, and smoothing out the surface. I hear Kitty hair will only bond to fiberglass though? :dunno:

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a fourth gen with shave door handles. :dunno:

I've only seen one Camaro with SOM (I think it was SOM paint) do something like this. He did his key holes and the area where the antena is/was. Looked very clean!! His pics of his car should be on this board somewhere...

Thanks for replying folks. I truly appreciate it. I'm sure you all know how annoying it is to post a question and not have any replies in like a week. What's SOM? I have located a body shop that will be doing my paint, misc body work, and shaving the doors. They say they actually use fiberglass. I didn't know that was possible (but then what do I know?) The work is also warrantied for 5 years. Bit expensive though at $400 a door. What do you guys think?

Sunset Orange Metalic (one of my favorite colours).

Sounds about right. Seems like a decent price. If I lived in Cali., I'd ask you where you were going and have that done to mine :beer:!
