Ok, I've seen people with shaved door handles, side marker lights, and more. Question is, how do they go about doing that? Filling it in with some sort of compound, filing it down, and then painting it? Most likely can't be done, but just wondering, because I think that it might look decent. The reason I wanna know is because I was looking at my car the other night, and I wanna try and do something that looks unique. I wanna try and cover up the rear side windows (the side windows in the backseat) and paint them to match the rest of the car so it looks like they aren't even there. How much does shaving generally cost, can you do it yourself, and what does the whole process involve? Any input would be appreciated.

Dude, don't do it You won't be able to see ANYTHING when you wanna change lanes. Plus, I don't think it'll look very good.

Sure, anything's possible with enough money; that doesn't make it a good idea.

What does the process involve? There's probably a number of ways to skin this cat. You should probably just call a bodyshop and ask them.

How would you explain it to a mentally retarded cancer patient?

If he wanted to know how to shave his ass, ball sack, and his car, how would you explain it to him? Also, the sad thing is that the guy probably isn't retarded, he's just really ugly.
