Does anyone know if Toyota has any door handles without keyholes that will fit the Celica? The back doors on Camerys doesn't have keyholes but I haven't been able to find any that will fit. I don't want to shave the doors, (just a bit too much for me right now) but I would like to get the clean look.

I've used touch up paint to fill in the silver but it's difficult to keep clean.

You could always pay to have the door handle keyhole shaved and not the entire door. They could easily fill in the space where the key hole is to get a smooth keyhole free door handle. It would proably cost less to modify the handle you already have than replace it completely.

this kinda newbie-ish but how do you get in when your door handles are shaved.

There are servos that pop the doors open for you.

The servos as used in shaved doors are electro-mechanical devices that push the door open for you since there wouldn't be a place to pull it from the outside. They come in various sizes with different amounts of force, from ones that only open it a few inches to ones that can knock you on your butt if you're standing too close....

the doors are opened by a selonoid that pulls on the linkage the handle used to the door pops open from a spring placed in the door jamb. and it's all wired into the key less entry on the car

Just get the keyhole shaved. I heard getting the whole handle shaved is costly because of the curve in the area of the door handle.
