Lightbulb Suicide doors

I was washing my car the other day and as i was looking at my car from a back angle, i kept thinking how cool it'd be to have the doors open from the opposite side. Has anyone seen a 2nd gen tC with suicide doors? or know if it's possible or a pain in the ___ to do?

IMO,

suicide looks best on 4doors...with the front normal and the rear suicide

that way if u have a kick a$$ interior, you basically open up the entire car to show it off

It wouldn't be all that impossible. It would just be a matter of routing everything to come out the rear of the door, moving all the hinges and gaskets, moving the door sensor, and I'm sure there would be a fitment problem or two that would have to be addressed

yea doing suicides is ALOT of work. you have to move all of your wiring from front of your door to rear (extending as well), new hinges in back, latch, relocate your locks,ect... there was a 1st gen tc that did it and watching the build it was definintely alot of work and fabrication.
