How do you get in?? Lol, I like it and especially the sound of the arctic white paint. I wish I could get mine custom painted. I did take it off-roading in the snow yesterday though!

But seriously, how the heck do you get in your truck if you shaved the handles? I guess I'm missing something lmao.

Typically shaved door vehicles have the locks welded in an unlocked state, and the doors are opened by remote control activation of a heavy duty silenoid which simulates pulling the door handle. An additional spring loaded door popper can help with pushing the door out from just beyond it's closed position.

Perhaps the OP will post a vid of how he enters the Tahoe....

pretty much just like iwaslower has stated except i just removed door locks all together and pretty much the truck actually thinks that the woutside handle is being pulled everytime i get into the truck. what i did was took the handle off then used a solinoid and attached it to the the part that the extirior handle pulling rod used to connect to and the solinod is a 2 wire lead one for ground other for power. so the power wire i just tapped into the unlock wire on the driver door so everytime i hit unlock once on the remote the driver door opens did the same on front pass door so if i double click the remote pass door popps. now for the back doors i just reach my hand to the back and open myself. yeah i will get some video up soon when weather breaks its 16 degrees out right now burrrr.

That's ******* sick! haha I have never heard of such a thing. The closest I have heard to that is automatic lambo door kits but those are insanely expensive.

Looks good and the shaved handles are sick. I like driving in the snow.

From the pics your lows look like 5000k and your fogs look 6000k. Are your fogs higher wattage?
