That's actually a good idea!  I'm working on that right noe and hadn't considered doing anything like that.  Any aerodynamic considerations that anybody can think of?

You have to turn the door handle with one hand while placing your flat palm on the underside of the strake extension without it slipping.  It seems there should be some sort of grip on the underside of the strake extension on the door to help in lifting the door.  I was regretting not creating a little cutout finger grip there prior painting.  I think I will make some sort of low-profile, streamlined grip that I'll paint and bond on.  Do you guys know what I'm talking about?  Has anyone else put some sort of grip there?
