Wes, have you seen/done any 300C's with Lambo & Suicide doors? Just wondering I haven't see both on a vehicle yet, maybe you really can't do both.

Alot of discussion on this topic. We haven't attempted a suicide custom yet.
We need to investigate on the structural integrity of the b and c pillars.
When you do a lambo style conversion, the majority of the door's weight is displaced straight down as the door sits vertically above the hinge.
The suicide conversion however, has the weight placed outward from the outer edge of the door downward. The amount of strength needed is 6 1/2 times that of the lambo doors. The hinge bears the weight times 6 1/2 because of the lenght of the door. This gives cause to failure of or at the least sagging unless the hinge system can bear this weight.
If I were to attemp this conversion, I would need weight times 8 to insure that it would last the vigors of everyday use.
I haven't been able to find such a system yet.
So, for now...Lambo's it is!
