Has anyone tried putting suicide doors on the XB? Do you think it would be a good idea to try it out? I personally think that it might just look alright. Let me know.

How much is it going to cost? It doesn't look like such a good idea after looking at the link. Maybe I'll just hold off until I see more successful attempts at it.

i so wanna do it. the idea has been floating around for awhile . it will be very sweet looking. cost is gonna be hard to say since labor rates are different everywhere u go. but yeah. i cant wait . i should have it done within the year(hopefully)

yea right now it needs so much refinement its ridiculous. i believe it's shawns black xB that has suicides and supposedly is very hard to get into if you're bigger. i wouldnt personally try to fab up anything because i wouldnt want to mess up seals or functionality. just wait for a complete bolt on kit to come out that is worthy of the near $1000 price tag

:? Those are called "scissor" doors or "Lambo" doors. What is being attempted is a "suicide" door conversion where the hinges are relocated to the rear of the door.

Check out this auction of this old Lincoln...3rd picture down on the left. 8)

someone tried doing on the rear, and, I don't remember which, but it would either not close all the way or not open more than a little bit

yeah, I want to do the rear doors, obviously I'm sure there's some fabrication to be done. But the smart move will be to just wait. Not like I don't have 5 1/2 years of payments left.
