Default Suicide doors

Is there a kit for the xB for the rear doors to open in the other direction? I was thinking about that, it would be an awsome thing to do.

It can be done, it's expensive though.

its expensive cause most likely you'll have to have custom brackets done

You are looking at $600 to $900 for the hinges and then the custom fabrication work to be done. Also have to make sure the shop can do it right or you will be paying another shop to do it again. Oneoffrides in Florida has the templates to do it since they did one xB and repaired the work of another shop on a second car. They of course though are too far away. I forget the price but I think it was $3000 give or take.

Damn, ok. Thanks for the approximate prices. I'm a body man, for what has to be done I can do, I only need the hinges.

let me save you the hassle and time and effort...dont do it.

i have seen too many people try, fail, and ruin their car. not only is it unsafe for daily driving (cutting into panels and re-welding panels is never safe for collisions)

if you have to ask about this, and your a body man, you dont need to be doing it because you obviously have not researched how this is done.

I know how it's done, I was simply wondering if there was a pre-made kit for the xB.
