I've only seen one post where someone was trying it and was having a nightmarish time with it. The person who started the job didn't have something right and the car owner posted looking for help. I don't remember seeing the outcome of it.

i wouldnt think it would be that hard unless there are clearance issues on the rear doors themselves, just reverse the wiring to come out the other side and run it under the pnaleing......... i dunno though , am i missing something here

Default rear doors

Tony at JT Autostyle who makes the EVO body kits and the lambo hinges I'm using said he should have some hinges this summer, for the rear door. His personal car has a lambo on one side and a suicide on the other.

Lol that would look retarded , lol. I wonder if it's be possible to suicide the front and just have both doorf open from the middle or something a photochop could be nice for this idea.

Suiciding the rears are a headache. The rear door jams would need beaucoup reinforcing, and then a set of double jointed hinges would prolly be needed to clear the body. Adding the locks to the "B" pillars and reinforcing them would be simple enuff, just needs to be cleanly added so no clothing gets snagged on ingress and egress.
