Got the message... Actually I like the look of the car now with the handles shaved off. I do get a lot of complements on it. As for the poppers I wish that I would have gone with the auto window roll down on my alarm system instead. The shop that did my popers did a good time but it puts stress on the metal and paint. If I was to do it again, I would get the door done, remove the poppers and install the code to my voper alarm to roll down the windows to get to the door handle. I have met a lot of custom cruisers here in Houston that live by the window application. It used less power and no real issue with parts breaking.
On a second note make sure that you have a emergency way into the car. If your battery dies you would have to bust a window or Slim Jim the lock ( and sometimes that won't work due to the modifying of the doors)
As for the Suicide door on the back, I wanted to do it, but I would have to downsize my wheels to a 17" maybe a 18". The mounting bracket is very large and will take up alot of the upper wheel well (if done right). I still might do it, but I would have to give up my ride quality and remove my full coilover system and but it on bags.... (the car really isn't a DD any more so it might happen next year....)
I hope that this helps at all.

Very nice neon on 19s best lookin neon ever and in this section. On the suicde rear I have a friend that has his rear doors suicde and hes riding on 18s with coilovers and looks awesome I think that would take away from your vertical doors though and love you shaved look. he was going to do that but his is a race car and they said he couldnt have his doors shaved if racing. But yeah shaved and trunk keyhole is a clean look.
