^ oh its defiantly doable, but not 50 bucks, no where near it.

Re-Painting the door is already ~500 bucks, and its only the tip of the iceberg for this project.

 

here we go with Honda civic quotes... you are spitting out numbers like you have done the job before.. that speaks for itself on how much you know. from personal preference.. i wouldnt do suicide doors.. tasteless mod.

 

i love lamp.

 

hey like i said ...im in for the pics...im not throwing flames at anyone cuz well, i havent seen it done yet...but im a noob so....good luck man!

 

heres what it looks like on a chrysler 300...imagine a shorter version and it might be an idea of how it would look like on a sedan....i think...

 

heres a link for the hinges....heard autoloc is pretty good.... happy modding !

I did it with my coupe using the Vertical Door Inc. bolt on kit. It was okay several years ago for show purposes but its been overplayed.

It will draw attention but there a PITA to constantly adjust for changes in weather.
Struts needed to be replaced about once a year.

Know longer have the hinges on car and its one less BS item to deal with.

 

Before a friend of mine decided to switch show cars, he got a quote for suicide doors from a body shop guy we know and he told him at least 2-3k per side. I agree with others, there other mods that kind of money can be spent on. If you are really wanting to do it, make it one of those later than sooner mods.

 

I'm just curious to see what it would look like, so if the guy has the time/talent/$$, go for it. Ur car, do what makes u happy...

 

I just re-read your post. i got it all wrong. Sorry

 

^Sweet, although lookslike the rear quarters didn't get painted to match the fresh door paint....


ANYways, I did some inspecting today and as expected, you guys are right I'm going to ditch this mod idea. It could be done but I don't want to get into that much fabbing. And probably closer to $200 because I'd need to buy decent steel. I just don't want to kill the door reliability, so thought with OEM door latches (If possible) I would be ok. The work to do them to the quality I would expect/want would be nuts.

Thanks for the opinions on this, I haven't explored the idea before so at least I know now. Besides all that, I did some hunting online and there just aren't that many cars that can pull off suicide doors in the rear, I don't think the G sedan could do it, it'd probably look bad. ie. That chrysler 300 that was posted, that looks aweful.

 

^good idea. Don't do this.

 

Ah well we're all good for one supergenius idea right?

 

We should have just told him that it "is a great idea!, you should do it!" Then waited for a picture of his doors removed, wires hanging everywhere, and the hacked door jams that will never seal properly again..

 

^ That would have been so sweet of you guys
