I'm pretty sure it will cost substantially more than $300 in the end since you would, as a practical matter, have to move the door handle towards the opening end of the door. That means removing the current door handle, filling those holes in, drilling new holes, installing the handle and hardware along with the actual latch to the opening side of the door, then the body and paintwork. In the end, it would look silly and do nothing to improve upon the car. Pretty much as useless as Lambo or Gullwing doors.

Good point

Lastly, I always am concerned with kits like this (especially inexpensive ones) just how much engineering went into it and whether or not it compromises the original (and tested) integrity of the cabin in a collision.

It is def not an easy mod I have done a few sets, not on g35's. I would love to do a set on a g sedan tho. Typically you need to relocate the handle, or shave. Re enforce the door jam, body work, paint etc. It is much more than $300

What is a good car for a suicide door then? Cause no denying that on the right car it's very impressive. C'mon, haven't you guys seen the matrix?

If this has not been done on a a g sedan yet IMO it should be tried once. I can mock up a 3D render, I'll try to get one done this weekend.

If I was into my car as I was. I would have had my buddies shop do it.
