My user name is the user name I have all over the place. And for the record the 20" wheels that it refers to are the 20" Champion 6 Intro wheels on my Dodge Dakota R/T. Yup, billet. Anything but bling bling.
Oh, and that Dakota? It is fully shaved, sub-framed, and has a completely one off bag job. Just itching to set the frame rails down over a set of 22s.
And my reference to those people going to shows with lambo doors would be obvious to anyone from California who is truly into custom cars. In the last few years all you see if truly ghetto people rolling on the cheapest set of bling bling wheels they could find bumping their distortion spewing stereos and opening their BOLT-ON "Lambo Doors."
It is a joke that these people actually think that they ARE innovative. And they think they are worthy of competing against the guy next to him with 30+ body mods who just happens to be primered.

so who's the first idiot going to be that yells out "that's a crappy photochop job!" ?? Now since it appears SmartAss is the first to post known-to-be-ture photos (there are other suicide xB's, but not pics the are unquestionable) ... that means he gets to serve the first plate of crow to everyone who said "that's impossible!". Dig in and enjoy ladies.

Im interested to see the reinforcing you've done. I was thinking about making a tube fram for the door and then tubing the rear wall..so its all nice and strong and then dropping on dual hinges. Of course, Im still trying to figure a way to cut the C-pillar at the halfway point and keep body rigidity.
