What flush door handles has anyone used to replace the UGLY AS SIN factory door handles with? I want to do flush mounts that are printable. First one comes to mind is 88-98fullsize GM trucks. My last project I used 90s Malibu they were a pain. I don't want to use poppers so that's out of consideration.

Not sure about flush mounts, but have you considered modifying the stockers? Liquid8 shaved his down to look more sleek, and they look sweet!

I'm in the process of modifying mine, painted them to match exterior trim, and will be adding custom inserts...literally just finished painting them a couple hours ago and they are curing now.

I don't know of any in particular, but when I see round handles on a square body they just don't to seem to fit. I think the square truck handles would be a better fit on our square body style.

Glad you also think so. I already have two new truck handles leftover from a 99 2-dr.Tahoe I customized a few years ago.

I shaved down my original door handles and painted them body color. Granted they're not flush, but look cooler than the original I-beam look.
