First ever ZX2 with SUICIDE doors....

[ZXWHO]

For the people who didnt get a chance to see it before the old site went down I thought I'd share these just incase. The drivers side is 98%done. today I shaved the handle but no pics since everyone has seen shaved handles before. Should be starting the pass side soon.

Maybe i should drive my car when its done and you can juice mine while I suicide yours! LOL

[SnowBoardinWNY]

Nice, very nice.

[kaliayev]

Never would have thought of doing that to the ZX2, but it looks pretty cool.

[Fat_Dave]

looks a hell of alot better than i thought it would im not one for suicides but these look good nice job man

[WillZX2]

well done..very impressed

[ZXWHO]

Thanks all. Yea the wife isnt a fan either of the suicide doors but it is my car she says.And the lambo doors are getting used way to much. Alot of people said it couldnt be done on these cars due to the shapeof the doors, or overhang on the doors. SO..I had to try it. I would say it was easy but after about 10 hours of work this is what I have. Now for the pass side.

[FiReTRuCK_ZX2]

looks good, I really can't wait to see the finished product.

[deadplow]

YES DUDE!

I posted a thread about this on the old site.

Looks great.

[chik]

[morningstar2101]

[Mike]

Same here and stuff...

And the lambo doors are getting used way to much.

If I were rich and owned a lambo, I'd suicide the doors. Think those cars would look badass done like that.

LOL Now that would be funny! I still like the Lambo doors but when you go to a show and you see a row of cars with half of them with the doors in the air it kinda doesnt grab your attention like it used to.

Now do lambo doors suicide now that would be crazy!

If you are building a one off car and lambos haven't been done then it's ok. Like if I were to lambo my 81 camaro. Would need 2x4 solid stock to hold the heavy ass door up but it would be one off. I just think suicide doors look better.

Chris pulls it off again.

[deadplow]

any progress on this man?

[Boski]

that looks bad ass

[Beodude123]

Never been a big fan of the door mods, but the S doors should be pretty cool.

[Texas Tracer]

Great job, looks awesome!

[corybok]

ive been hoping ever since the old site 2-3 years ago that someone would do it... keep up the good work and hope it works good

[chik]

Any updates?

[droptoutzx2]

updates!!!

[Waterboy9000]

so what he pulls the normal latch then has to use his other hand to pull the opposite side open?

[droptoutzx2]

he probably is going to end up shaving the handles

[Waterboy9000]

ah gotcha, good. This car will look sick

[Nick-ZX2]

I've been wanting to do the same thing, but didn't want to risk the money and possible damage to my car. But if you do the how-to you bet you arse I'll make this mod. Suicide doors are awsome in the right car. Hell I was also thinking about lamboing my malibu front doors and suiciding the rears.

[dareall]

not a fan of door mods, but this is excellent work. Long live the spirit of the 60's 4-door continentals, WOOT!!

[jdrzx2]

Good fab work, but need an update.

[Jesusfrk611]

Nice job on the door. Not a big fan of suicide doors, but it looks like put out a lot of time into it nonetheless.
