Vertical doors on a 4door?
Tuesday, February 15, 2005 6:50 PM
Well with the GP from Modified Motorsports going on now with a steal of a price for the vert door kit, I really wouldn't mind having a set for myself. The only setback that I see is that I have a 4-door. Anybody think this could roll well? I mean I know its original with a 4 door to lambo the fronts and maybe suicide the rears. But what is everybody's opinion on the matter? This is a pic chopped by "Jbodied" Thanks to him for doing it, and thanks for the comment on my wheels.



Think I should go and do it? If I do, you'll all see it in Indiana in July!!!

Thanks for your input guys!

YOU CAN NOT SUICIDE THE REARS! the wheel well is our REAR DOOR, no room for hinges.

Can you see?



Nothing is impossible, just takes some creativity, custom work, and time!

That's not suicide though... so you're wrong about that.

It can be done though, it just takes a lot of customization and bracing.

^^^ Those are lambo'd. Not suicide. Sedans can't suicide their doors cuz the shape of the door. It's possible to do the coupes because the door is flat in the back.

Anyways, back on topic ... I'm still on the fence about getting Vertical doors for my car. I'm trying to picture in my mind me getting out of the car with the fronts going up, and the rears opening regular.

You guys think it will flow well? I will be putting on my kit before I get the lambos done if I do go through with the kit.

Do a suicide lambo... What i mean is having the doors lambo backwards, toward the rear of the car. This will take a ton of work, but you could do it with some hinges at the pillar and a heavy actuator...

?

IMO body kit, and lower it first. Mods will complement other mods. It'll look out of place if you just slapped vertical doors on a stock looking (with the exception of the rims of course) sedan.

It is lowered Pro-Kit and Koni Reds. And I'm debating about going to sportlines, but damn some of the roads in New Hampshire would rip my car to shreads with the razor sharp frost heaves cutting up the pavement.
