Are you sure about that? There is life outside the States you know, apparently they had cars in Europe some years ago

I don't understand the fascination with suicide doors on a coupe. Maybe a sedan, but even then it just doesn't seem worth it to me. With that, I'd still like to see pics.

Seems like it would be a pain in the *** to get in and out of your car in a tight parking spot (Which is what I deal with all the time). Not my cup of tea.

Although I hate them, like really hate them (simply my opinion on things), I wouldn't call these rice, they can be quite functional. I always kick my speaker while getting out of my car, and scuff marks and dirt always build up. With the door opening up on the other end, that would be no more!

I am with the majority of the otehr guys: WAY BETTER THAN LAMBO DOORS!

However, I must now add my obligatory flame
Any sort of unconventional doors, lambo, scissors, gull wing, suicide, etc. are all rice.

I would much rather wear a fart mask rather than have suicide doors

Suicide doors can be good on sedans. On a coupe, it's - for lack of a better term - retarded.

I don't like the way they look but that is not the issue.
Again this is YOUR car and you need to do what YOU want
to do, not what others want to do.

That being said, I am afraid you are going
to run into one of two situations here.

You are either gonna pay out the ***
(if you get them installed correctly and securely),
for something that while even though you find cool you will later
come to realize could have been spent MUCH better
on something else

OR...

You are NOT going to pay out the *** at first, and it is going to give you
all sorts of problems, end up being a nightmare and THEN you are going to have
to pay out the *** to get the nightmare fixed and by that time you will want to take
the doors and SHOVE them up someone else's ***.
