It's illegal in this state as far as I know. So no shop will touch that job. Half the people on this forum would have shaved handles if they could..

They're illegal to drive with (ie won't pass inspection), not illegal to have (show car is ok).
19VAC30-70-250. Doors.

Inspect for and reject if:

1. If each door located at the left and right side of the driver's seat is not equipped with an opening device similar to that installed by vehicle manufacturers which will permit the opening of the door from the outside and inside of the vehicle.

2. If each door located to the left and right side of the driver's seat is not equipped with a latching system similar to that installed by vehicle manufacturers which will hold the door in its proper closed position.

It's not illegal to "do" it on cars. Its illegal to drive it on public roads without them. Sorta like "for off road use only" shit.
