i think there pretty pimp for a show car...but id also consider suicide doors... and i know for a fact they mkae a kit sumwhere...just imagine pullin up to a club with all the girls staring...pretty pimp IMO!

 

whats more pimp suicide or..... some Diablo doors man !

 

also thinking of Gull wingin' it But Wouldn't be able to park ina crowded P lot. Assylumms offers a kit for 1500 bucks, and in there add I quote " NEW Vertical rise door kit, Lamborghini style. Bolt in install
Kit does not replace factory doors, they are kept and used with kit. No welding, cutting or frame modifications needed " So it has to be a trick hing or something like that any ideas???

 

If you need a car to pick up chicks you have no *****, nuff said.

 

http://www.decah.net makes a gullwing door kit. they say it can be done in less than two hours for less than a set of wheels, so i'm thinking in the hundreds, maybe a grand or a lil bit more. check the site.

 

wow, i clicked this post waiting to see flames and all that.

just thought i would say thanks to everyone the responded in a helpful way, instead of the bs that goes on here so often.

the kit usually runs like $1000. i have seen ads in scc and super street for them. i think its pretty damn cool, but its just to expensive for what it is.

i bet if you went to some ahrdware stores, and talked to some body shop guys you could figure out a way to do it. just need to make some type of bracket and have a hydrolic tube thing to push it up, couldnt be to incredibly hard, but would probably take some custom stuff made at a machine shop.

good luck though

 

So true.

 

ahh get outta here and keep your "tasteful" comments to your self before i break your middleaged precious face!

 

you can make them yourself....easy steps

1. get the hinges to lift the door up

2. get the gas shocks to keep the doors at the upright position

3. then go like this >>

 

 

Here is what you actuall need.

1. A rail to slide the door about 2 inches out from the body so the door panel and stuff can clear it.

2. A locking rotating hinge that will lock in place when you rotate the door upwards

3. A Hydrolic or Gas piston similar to the ones that hold up your hatch but bigger.

4. A rail so that the piston can collape down when you close the door.

5. A different lock to adjust the way that the new door closes.

Yeah, thats great, gullwings on a Civic. IMO, those belong on Lambo's. Keep it clean. !!

 

ima suicide my accord doors one of these days.

 

don't try to sound intelligent unless you actually are.

Mercedes never made a car named the Gullwing. The car in your photo is the SL300. It was available as both a roadster (featured in the movie "Charlie's Angels", utilizing "normal" doors) and coupe (which utilized the gullwing-style doors). It was based on their racing heritage, and took many design cues from their racing cars, including the gullwing-style doors.

The current CLK-GTR incorporates a similar door hinge.


And THAT, my friend, as you so eloquently put it, is what we here call:
