    Think of all the great uses that handlee will have in the future as well:

    You can hang the transmission fluid bottle from there when you're servicing your tranny.

    If you're on a long road trip, you can hang your laundry from there to dry.

    You could integrate a can holder so you don't spill your beer inside the VX.


    The possibilities are endless.
    It WOULD make a nice towel rack.

    Perhaps we are being quick to judge. Let us see a "zoomed out" picture so we can be more comfortable judging you.

    Heck....maybe the next step is curtains around the windows instead of tinting......maybe a white picket fence around the bottom......

    I kid...I kid....

    Keep thinking outside the box. I know that's what EVERYONE here does and we have had some real great ideas surface because of it.

    LOL...some ideas deserve to stay INSIDE the box...

    Now I'm thinking of custom cut mini blinds all around...

    That would just be one MORE thing to rattle and squeak.

    Man that's what I like to hear, think of all the possibilities. However, one of the upsides is since these pulls are universal I can switch to antique brass, gold or whatever. Hum, cup holder, tranny fluid....priceless. Will try to post pics from farther away today. Everytime I try to post pics I have to delete others cause I get the over the attachment notice. Seems like I can only do about 3-4 pics before I have to delete-em to do 3-4 new ones.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    You should scale the pictures down so they aren't 324mb a piece

    Isn't that a limitation that's removed for site supporters? PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE...

    J/k, just an FYI in case you eventually get sick of doing tha - although with the member status tags removed maybe you already are and I'm way off base. If so, sorry!

    I'll vouch for Handee as being MORE than just an annual $20 site supporter...
    He goes WAY above & beyond that...

    My guess is that his gallery limitations are an oversight that will be corrected when the site upgrade is complete...

    I feel so badly about the Somebeach thread, I'm not going to carry this any farther. I was just putting everyone on, as to this door handle mod. I figured everyone would be saying "is he friggin crazy?" to drill a VX door handle like that. I took bad pics on purpose, some of my VX door handle (which is unscathed), and drilled a cash for clunker handle that's headed for the crusher. The Somebeach thread has made me sick to my stomach.. I apologize to everyone for attempting to have a little fun with a goofy mod.
