    I think it would look dumb on a 202. Have those then your normal rear doors? Yuck. Now. find a way to suicide the rear doors... that would be pimp, they would open with the front like an ols Lincoln. Or, find a way to do the verticle doors to the front and the rears, but backwards on rears. Piggidy Pimp.

    I'm sorry, but I can't stand lambo-style door kits. I think the real thing is fine on exotics, but there's really nothing worse in my opinion than lambo door kits.

    My two cents.

    Thank you for the feedback.
    i was debating that, for the fact that the back would be normal :-s
    unless u put suicide doors on the rear.
    i was debating suiciding my rear doors and leaving the front ones standard also. that looks cool
    i think that the front ones opening up would look gay now actually :-s massivly different they would be tho.
    they want about 400$ usd for the kit

    no. please dont. 1) 202 are massed produced and it would be the same as a civic having lambo doors, somthing that is lame. 2) look at the lines of the car, it would look like poo. maybe if you do it to a porsche it would look ok. 3) lambo doors are played out on cars its been done a million times over and is the standard "get a lot of looks easy mod.

    if you want to do a door mod, suicide the rear it would be good on an all black mafia style car.

    Yea i agree, it wod be a bit too wank.
    I would like rear suicide doors tho, most ppl wouldnt even notice this sick mod unless u had rear passangers.
    My car is not black its blue, with dark tints but i still think it would look good.

    leave the doors on your car as they are - this way you know you are problem free. Also, maybe you should spend that $$$ on engine mods!

    I guess i could say the same about the engine, leave it the way it is then i know it will be problem free. < but i know what u mean i was just being a smart ass then
    But i am lining up alot in the engine department aswell.

    But cheers for the oppinion i guess a mod like vl doors would be troublesome? im not sure how well they build these kits?

    it would have to be a full custom job. it would be an arm and leg.

    Yea i dont think they make kits for suicide doors, other than universal ones.
    It would also be alot cheaper if you have a mate that does suicide door mods etc as a job

    When you say arm and a leg it makes me think of this guys lambo doors. Yeas, they are power from a remote, all custom fab. I think he said it cost around 8k to do.

    go to movies then click on the 5th link down. Pretty cool.

    somebody lied, lmao... i hate when people always try to say they paid sooo much more for sumthin. gesshhh they think it makes it cooler or sumthin the more it cost..lol. auto loc has the universal mount (works flawlesly with mustang, buddy has it) with remote, mnotorized. and the kit ran under 2 grand installed... dumb ass people tryin to hype shit up, makes them look like fools...

    Look at the pics. The entire door slides out then motorizes up. I know the lambo doors swing open a bit then go up, but look at the way those open. If you go to pictures then doors he says they are run off a hydraulic pump with their own battery.

    yes its called a linear actuator, costs about 180 bucks on its own but is included with the auto loc kit, that is how it has the ability to be motorized and remote controled....

    LOOK AT THE MOVIE/PICTURES. I have seen the autoloc kit, and know how it functions. That aint it, its not just bolt on hinges. It looks like a beefy plate slides out from the car, right around the dash area, and then the doors swing up. I know that today we have all sorts of lambo kits that are almost economical, but this site has been around a few years. Anyway, its not even a relevant argument, I just wanted to show some expensive door modifications.

    go for suicide doors...however

    lambo doors on a sedan are not a good idea, as for suicide doors, thats something else, and yes i agree they are very hard to do, however when they are done, u got a one of a kind car, cause till now, i havent seen any c class or benz with suicide doors, however when yo are doing suicide doors you have to consider that the car is to damn short, so you would have to have you front seat all the way in for someone to get in the car
