Yea. An old member robbie did it. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/240915
Unfortunately his car was stolen if I remember correctly. There was also a guy with a oranged 2dr that had his suicided. I just remember seeing a picture. Its pretty hard to do with our cars because the doors are soo big and heavy. You have to take some thin steel plating and make a counterweight on the door so it doesnt sag and so it opens smoothly

OH yes, suicidedoors.com has awesome kits. Autoloc is just the cheapest and still a good kit. If you go with suicidedoors kit, you wont have to reinforce the door as much bc their hinges are much stronger

I was just doing a bit of thinking, has anyone ever though of pulling parts from chevy trucks that have rear suicide doors stock? like the s10's from 1994-2005...would be alot cheaper than buying a kit..

Think about the differences in weight between s10 mini doors and Aleros Doors. They would break

they are tough hinges...they look thicker than most of the hinges in the $500 kits, full size trucks have them too. Its just a thought that I'd like to look into
And I was meaning for sedan rear doors...not those 100ft long coupe doors
