Do you mean scissor doors? I don't think that I have ever seen suicide door conversion on any vehicle before?

I've been thinking about this for a while because I want different door opening styles but you can't put lambo hinges on a sedan cause it looks bad. I do love the rolls royce style with the suicide doors in the back but I figured since mine isn't a show car and rarely does anybody sit in my back seat I figured it wouldn't be worth like 1-2 grand or however much it costs

It actually seems like a cheap conversion, which is why I was asking for pics. I saw a kit for like $300.

How does that work on a coupe? Front doors open backward?

because rolls royce is a retarded/stupid company?
Or do you mean its retarded to put suicide doors on other big luxury sedans that don't originally have them from the factory?

On the right car, it's great. I'm just wondering if G35 is the right car, haha.

Yeah exactly and imo I think it would look a bit silly on a coupe but I've never seen it so idk

Does anybody know if they make doors that slide out and straight up? Similar to gullwing but they stay straight up

To be honest, I'm just not a fan of this at all. I think this isn't of any practical value at all, given that out rear doors already open nearly perpendicular as it is. I know some cars have door that only open at a small angle, but not ours! As far as looks, it's pretty weird, and IMHO amounts to doing it "just do do it". 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.
