Vertical Rise Door conversion for Evo?

aka lambo style doors.


Haven't seen a kit for this yet either.

Would be sick to have all four doors vertical, or maybe front doors vertical with suicide doors in the rear.

That would destroy the EVO and what it stands for...that is like putting a huge rice wing on a Cobra!

It look like crap on 4 door, because the doors are so much smaller than a coupe.

there is a picture of one here at this forum. Search.

When its done right, it looks pretty cool. I sat in a Supra with vertical doors, hydraulically actuated. It was pretty sweet, you'd pull the handle and the doors would pop and open themselves. It would be unique. Again, you have to do it right. Half assing it is worthless. That same Supra had a remote control that would open the whole car, hood, rear, doors and was timed so they would all fully extend at the same time. (It was on the IASCA circuit around 1997)

I don't care if you paint your Evo pink, cut the doors off, and strap a giant elephant ***** to the roof. Its your car, do what you want. Everybody has different taste and interests. For me, vertical doors are cool.

Yes, this looks like ***--I agree--but there has to be a better way to do it. Maybe not, I'm just looking for a contact that does to discuss it.

What I have in mind is a door that pops out, then swings up and away at an angle. Not swings at a hinge like the one in this picture.

Again, I don't want to do this the cheapest/crappiest way possible. IF I do it at all, I want something thats done right.

I don't even know how that door is functional in the photo.

The car is too tall to do Gullwings.

I still think suicide rear doors would be cool.
