How to put a handle back on the shaved door
Hey guys, I traded my car with mazdaspeed protege that has shaved doors front and back.
And I needed to pass the inspection then I noticed that shaved door cars can not pass the safety inspection.
After some search I found out that having door handles in front will make the car pass the inspection.
(please correct me if its not
)
So I want to know if there is any way that I can have door handles in the front.
Im thinking either to get a set of used front doors and install the kit, but is there any other way to get the door handle back to where it was?
And one more question, will normal protege door replace the door if I have to change the whole door?
Thank you for your time.

Re: How to put a handle back on the shaved door
it depends how it was shaved...some people just pull the handle and weld metal in the area and bondo it up...
other take a cut the whole handle and mount out and weld metal in..
if its the first way it can be grinded out/painted and a handle reinstalled...and yes you can do the front two doors and it will pass inspection

yes. the door would be the easiest/ best fix....but most of the time the electric door kit is installed and all the old mechanics are removed/ cut up..gl

nftuatn, b16EFsedan/ Thanx guys for the answer, my remote says its Autoloc Company's shave door kit. Do they cut everything out of just a fill-in method?

Re: How to put a handle back on the shaved door
What the trooper told me when I called and ask was that you have to have some way to get the door open if the battery or the remote dies. I believe you can buy a safety button that will open the door if either of the two happens and the door will open. He told me that would pass. I'd call and see if there is any way to pass without having to do all the work to out door handles back on.

Re: How to put a handle back on the shaved door
yea you can have shaved handles but you have to have a pretty easily visible way to get the door open manually in case of power loss. My friend ran a cable to his inner fender wells and to pass inspection he put orange flags on them lol. Not sure if that was "supposed" to pass or not but it did every year no questions asked.
