Just have one scissor-slide door. ;p

On a whim I'd be tempted to; when I park in these college parking lots the doors just wanna be free and swing smack dab into the cars next to me. I have to unlock and slowly open the door. Of course, the cars next to me are never that considerate.

i have lambo doors on my car bought from ebay for about $600. u might can find some cheaper though. Depending on which kit you get you might run into a problem with the bottom half of the hinge matching up to the holes. But i just welded mine on and that took care of the problem. But make sure u get shocks that have at least a 750lb pressure rating. 500lb shocks came with my kit and 1 month later my doors wouldnt go up. heres an old pic of my doors from last Feb, sorry about the size guys!

Wonder how you adjust the windows on a car with scissor-slides...you gotta open the door to pop the panels.

Remove door?

thanks , fast...

how complex are the hinges? i saw a kit on ebay for 600 , but the hinges looked pretty cheesy... and they looked more than primitive.. kind of like an interior home door , with a slide cut into one piece.

how does the bottom hinge work , i cant find any pics . does it just go one way or is it a two way hinge as well...



thanks
hova

you arent being considerate of thier cars... by opening your own door slowly , as not to hit the other car , has more to do with youre own pride in your ride... you let your door swing open , common sense tells you that your own car will become damaged...its the same principle in theory as to why we wash our cars even though its going to rain right after we finish waxing (i had a buddy who would only was his car before it rained...somehow his car never got rusty...no wax either...)

the hinges prolly weigh between 10-20lbs each, so not a noticable change in weight

I just noticed your headlights have fogged over.
