Not vertical doors. just suicide doors for the rear. Meaning they open backwards.

I have not seen backwards door for lexus . I have seen moods for trunk but not for rear doors .

Even if you find one it is not worth it .

it looks pretty cool.. that's if you have 800bucks laying around... and from the look of the pictures. i hope you're a skinny guy.. else you're have a fun time getting in/out between the door.

btw i have heard crazy stories about these doors.. some can even fall off if the winds blowing too hard.. good luck

yea if you can find the hinges, manage to clear out a good amount of space at the end of the rear doors (where the handles are now), and somehow manage to not bend the side of your door panel when you close/open it, then it is all you.....
there is no room to put a hinge right there... you would have to reshape the metal bigtime
and if you have the frameless windows (im pretty sure u dont) the alignment better be perfect or you'll break the window every time you close the door
have fun with that one
