No, well... at least it shouldnt, unless you buy one of those specialty hinges.
but this company, www.LamboDoors.com , offers a DIY kit for $49US

the lambo door conversion..... the kit alone will cost close to 1800 to get a semi descent one... but the kits are not made well and dont hold teh weight of teh doors...
so you literally break teh frame of your car if you do this mod with out reinforcing most of your frame with steel...
the doors would be fien for a show car... but if its an everyday car... give it 2-3 months and your car will look like its sagging in teh middle

yeah, the modified hinges that decah et sell are not safe.
you have to have struts to support the door. Which is why i like the lambodoors.com method.

if you get a DIY for 49 bucks... thats jus gonna be as bad as teh decah doors and autolocs
this conversion is gonna cost alot to do
dotn get me wrong they look great with em on but its too much risk for your car if your an everyday driver

the decah and autoloc kits are street illegal. The hinge is fragile.
i prefer the method that involves the use of gas struts like the ones in LamboDoors.com , because they are proven throughout time. Kit cars have been using the lambodoors.com method.
