Door Mods for Sedans

Hey guys/girls , i was looking around a truck magazine. Not by my own free will i swear. . . But in there there was an add for all kinds of mods you can do to your car or truck. And they had a kit you could buy, the Lamborghini style doors. Im pretty sure its just the hinges, but the price is pretty high. But doesnt name cars it can fit ( or would work on )
Does anyone know if this Mod would work for the sedan ? ( front doors are all i need ) And if not, would the Suicide Mod work ? (front and/or all doors) -- And if they had to be modified, what mods would be needed ?
Thx for any input ~*~

The ad was from Autoloc (www.autoloc.com) <~~

Not to sure but i'd like suicide doors on my crx. but maybe i should buy the b16 first! it's engineless. http://www.decah.net sells the conversions. what ad did you see that in, the maker of the conversion?

Ignore my last post.

Who sells the kit for the crx in the pic.?

i will i will :devil: and the dough will come pourin in:smoka:

i think i got an idea on how to do your own.. Tell me if this even MIGHT work.

on autoloc.com (http://www.autoloc.com), there is these pretty cool Linear Actuators (LA). What is a Linear Actuator you say ?? Well, its only the best .. nah, its like a lil pump w/motor that pushes stuff up. You can use it to lift trunks and hoods automatically. Sounds groovy huh ? They are able to hold up to 800 LBS !!! but just get like a "LA" thats capable of pushing a door up, and mount it to push against some kind of hold on the door, and make special hinges, you think that would kind of be a good start to the complete conversion ?? in the first pic, u can see like some kind of bar or "LA". i dunno.. just some thinkin on how to make a ghetto, but working VDC ( vertical door conversion )

u could do that but that would cost too much and require too much work to the body...and about time u get done...ur into the $900 range....plus u forgot that our doors have to come out a little to go straight up b/c of the door sil

The bolt-in kits on www.decah.net go for around $1600. They do not make them for 4th gen Hatch's, Sedans, or 2nd Gen CRX's yet. Not sure about the Autoloc ones, I've seen the ads in Sport Compact Car, but they haven't updated their web-site with anything.

That black CRX with the Lambo-style doors was all custom work, and I guess the guy took it to like 3 different shops who totally screwed it up and finally decided to do it himself. I'm sure it cost him a bundle.

my design is finished and i just need to get it made and tested....i was prop0sing $300 for the kit b/c $1600 for a door mod is :bloated:

u should watch more Monster Garage.. they put back to the future type doors on a porshe... then modified the porshe into a golf ball picker for driving ranges lol.

what i like to see on sedans is the rear doors suicided so that you have the doors open away from each other, and have that big open cabin feel.

Yea, doing my own is prolly more work im willing to do for the VDC. Yea , i saw that , $1,600 , thats including doors too.. i dunno tho. I do like the idea of Suicide doors for the back tho. * sigh * , i dont get it, our gen. is obviously more important & stylish then any other civicz gen. to make some doors and more products for us. I guess they have to give them other gen. civics a chance :flipa: But if anyone finds somewhere where they sell the kit for 4th gen , plz post it. I wont have the money for it anytime soon with all that im doing now. but its nice to know it exists, and make plans for how much i need to save. :)

Theres no kit, all those mods have been done before on our cars, i have a 90 foor door too, and seen it done. A body shop will do it but expect paying over $500 or more for suicide style.

well,, on Autoloc its called "Lambo style", my bad for confusion.. but thats the style i meant from the beginning.
Butterfly style then is it raises from side ? Lambo from top ? all these styles are confoozin me. but i think im good with the style.. what ever it is .. over at AutoLoc (http://www.autoloc.com/LAMBOKit_page.html), you guys think thad be worth the money ? And what bout the suicide to the rear doors ? worth it ? thx ~

gull wing is what you find on the delorean. lambo style is where they go straight up, and butterfly style is where they open at an upward angle just not verticle.

Damn grey, u know your doors ;) But out of these, the Butterfly would be most practical , right ? i havnt seen any other doors besides butterfly and suicide. This would also ( besides suicide ) be easiest huh ? Any one know if the Deal (http://www.autoloc.com/LAMBOKit_page.html) here is good ? there is a Delux and Standard Kit. Thx guys, i should be about done now :rolleyes:

i think you should just shave your rear doors,,,, and have a coup. If done right it would look really cool....weld them shut then shave the handles, and make it really smooth.

i say for what ur getting itz not a bad price.....but if i had a sedan, i'd rather do the suicide doors

That would be nice, but im not sure if im ready for that kind of commitment. :rolleyes: i mean, one of my favorite things about 4 doors is that i dont have to get out of my seat to let friends in the back. Not a hastle. If anything tho, i'll get that Suicide Kit for the back.. and leave it at that for now. But i am going to fiberglass body kit to my car to make it smoother looking. And im debating on shaving handles.

wold be cool if u could take out the center piller and then set up ur front seat so it swivels....lol.....fuzzy dice and hydros....then u'd be....BIG PIMPIN :smoka: lol

LoL, i could see that man.. them REALLY cushiony seats that u sink bout 1/2 a foot into. Get them lil' "dingle balls" hangin from the windows :bandit: hek ya. :D

ok.. i sent that company ( Decah ) a e-mail, askin if they were going to get any kits to our cars. And if they knew where i could find em maybe.
Not sure if he knows what hes talkin bout.. but heres what he had to say :

"We do not have any plans to make a VDC specifically for your car. However, the 1992 to 1995 Honda Civic may bolt up directly.

Any input to this ?? I never thot or checked up on that. Fitment of doors, etc..

they won't make them for our EF's and we're probably gonna have to modify the kit for it to fit....but fot the money...it's not worth it...imo...and oh yeah....just an fyi to u.......it doesn't come with doors just the material to make ur doors like that

This is at Decah ?? I think you must be talking about the AUTOLOC page. Decah from what i can tell is that high quality and trustable co.

Decah --

Q1. - What does the VDC system include?

A1. - *The VDC comes with everything *your car needs to convert *(2) two doors.

I think if from anywhere i get these, it'd be here. (Decah)

no doors....

The first TRUE vertical door conversion complete bolt on kit. No welding or cutting required. EVERYTHING is included to do the conversion. The kit includes:

(2) Steel Door Hinge Assemblies (left and right)
(2) High Powered Lift Shocks
All Mounting Hardware
Carbon Fiber Trim Replacement
Wiring Harness Extension
Detailed Installation Manual

This bolt on kit is the perfect solution; it is very simple to install and will take only a few hours and is a fraction of the cost of a custom job. This modification will make your vehicle stand out more than any body kit.

... " Zip ties, door springs and REPLACEMENT door and chassis high strength coated steel hardware. Simply remove your stock hinges.. etc...."

not trying to prove you wrong or anything, just if someone is thinkin bout gettin doors from them and reads this and all. I tried writing monster garage.. them personal letters he will recieve, and askin if it'd be too much work.. mods involved.. etc.. - We'll see what happens tho.
