Suicide hinge deal is DEAD

[RollinLS]

BAD NEWS. The company just didn't have the time to mess with it. That was there take on the matter.

GOOD NEWS. Found a local shop that can do suicide doors. BAD NEWS, $2500 installed and painted. I looked at two different vehicles that they had done(Astro mini-van & a 70's full-size Chevy van). NICE clean work. Everything lined up perfect. The hinges used are made by the shop.

Suicide doors would look HARD ASS on an LS. Better than lambo doors that I see everywhere now.

It's be awesome if you could get the doors shaved a pop locks isntaqled the same time. It would look absolutley sick with a nice candy paint job

pop locks go bad all the time.. leaving the handles there makes it look more stock

I'd just relocate the handle to the other side, obviously. Would look very nice like that.

that's what i mean.. my friend did it to his 06 maxima.. looks amazing..

A little more then that. You would have to mount the driverside on the passengersdie and passengerside on the driverside. PLUS, move the doorhandles to the other end of the door. Then patch the holes at the old locations. But I am sure that was what you were thinking.

obviously.. swap handles internally.. relocate the position on the outside.. also strengthen the pillar.. and weld into the quarter panel.. wasnt that all assumed..



have u thought about just saving up the money and doing it? maybe i'll do it next year.. i'm almost done with the car for this year..

All that was taken into consideration. I used to run a small customs shop that I still run part time, I've done 2 of these setups.

so is anyone else thinking of doing this? I would if I wouldn't have to repaint.. :/
