I'm starting to think thats what the guy before me did cuz it looks exactly like electrical tape

-Considering getting keyless entry when I get the security system and then shaving the door handles. Or maybe leave them on for looks?

I think that the the key less entry will be good option for you and there are various companies which provide the best car security installation services along with the maintenance services.
