Suicide Doors?

DJKO · 01-30-2008, 11:35 AM

Anyone know of a hinge kit to reverse rear doors? Thinking of shaving the handles off the entire car and while I'm at it, I thought this would be cool to do as well.
How much body work would you estimate it would take to get the suicide part done? Look forward to some replies.

Here's a link for the hinges ---- Street Dreams Suicide Door Conversion Page
Best guess on making it happen I've seen is around $5K -- a lot of fabbing involved

if this mod is not done right your in trouble the doors will not open right and after a few months the door will start sagging they are heavy and because of the shape of the door you can only use one hinge...also the area that one hinge will mount in is very weak so it needs allot of bracing and support added... good luck!

I have seen and talked to some guys who used Titan hinges for the suicide doors. They also said it cost around $3000 - $5000.

Go over the the LXF and check out KGBPRO.
He has the rear suicides going and they are a show stopper.

I LOVE this look, but almost not worth the money or the troubles to get it done.

Bigal470 · 01-30-2008, 02:50 PM

my fear would be to spend 5 grand and then they dont open right or they start to sag

MadDad you are right on the money KGBPRO spent 5K to get his done. He had his done twice, the first time they were screwed up. These doors are really heavy.
