The pain is "ok" (IMHO) but the body isn't aggressive enough for it. He does have excellent taste in wheels, though.
You should go try and get in and out of a car designed for those doors....and then go try it in a car not. Then you'll catch my meaning.

The doors use heavy duty gas struts....very similar to what your suspension, hood, and trunk uses. Some use a coiled spring tense enough to lift 95% of the door's weight in conjunction with a lighter gas strut. Gas struts are amazing things that can hold up tremendous weights.

It looks much better than I thought it would.
Someone had been asking about this a while back and a Photoshop was made but it looked horendous.
That doesn't look half bad.
I'd definitely spend my money elsewhere though.

it's a show car, the doors do not see regular use. therefore he can get away with it for a longer period of time before they rip from the pillars..
The hood is to die for... no i mean i'd kill the creator.
The driver side headlight is severely misaligned. however they are so pretty and clean... sorry.... drool.
the orange is ......so so, not as nice as cytrik acid's orange. (not under that light anyway).
overall.......
Just not for me, but as a show car it has had some work and get's props.

Not much is impossible. Usually, all it takes is money.
The previous thread that discussed this (now locked) didn't conclude that it was impossible, but many thought it was impractical. It's a good thing they pivot outwards as well as upwards (see pic #2), allowing just enough room for passengers to squeeze in and out.

Yeah I think I like it.
I like the paint and the bodykit, Bomex is high on my to do list.
I love the rims
I love those doors but as OLT said it is a show car and love them or not I wouldn't put them on my daily driver.
Also yeah that hood is BAD and killing the rest of the car IMO.

As far as my tastes go its a
But, for a show car, its no so bad. I'll at least give the owner props for doing a radical custom job on an SC, and taking it out on the show circuit. That door conversion would look good on Dins show car. Ought to pull in the trophies.
