Default Filler plates

Anyone sell filler plates to shave the handles on the xB? I know when I had my blazer, we had the luxury of suicidedoors.com selling filler plates for the handles and I didn't know if anyone did for the xB's. Thanks!

If you have the ability to actually shave the handles, building the fillers should be a cake walk. The body panel is pretty much flat, and any curve in the body panel would be very simple to duplicate.

The only thing you will want to be careful of is when you actually begin welding the fillers in. The sheet metal Toyota uses is pretty thin. Be careful you don't end up burning through and or warping the metal. As long as you are careful and patient it should be a pretty easy task. Get in a rush and you will quickly have a nightmare on your hands.

yeah making them is easy for me. but it's the lack of tools that hurts. i guess i can go use a friend's shop to make the fillers. thanks for the info.
