shaved doors-questions and pics wanted

I (think I) want to shave my door handles and locks off, just wondering on what the best kit would be to do this, preferably one with solenoids that wont die on me after a year aaaaand id like to see some pics of shaved handles. don't know if I want to keep the drip rails on it or not if I decide to shave the handles.

Some of the shaved door handle kits have a secondary cable you can run somewhere. Just in case something goes wrong.

Avs kits have a emergency enter wire you can mount about anywhere.As long as your trucks battery is good you can still get in it even if your remote is dead or broken.

Actually with the AVS kit the remote wire allows you access to the vehicle specifically when your vehicle battery is dead. All you need is a 9v battery and it will pop your doors.
