Do you know if there is peices to go in place of the door handles or will i have to fab my own. fabricating one is not a problem i do bodywork for a living but if there is a company that makes them im sure it would be better.

There's probably not even a handful of C5's out there with shaved door handles, so finding a prefab filler piece or kit ain't gonna happen.

thanks for the help. i would run the fuel somewhere in the trunk area. i just dont like the look of the door handles and i have two chips on that door so i really need to repaint the side anyway.
