IMO, just doing the suicide doors in the rear would look just fine. no reason to mix it up and do the lambo doors in the front. But its your call. Vertical Doors costs about $1800, i know you can find it it for a better price. As far as suicide doors go, you can get the hinges for about $450, but then theres the cost of labor. Heres a site for the hinges http://www.suicidedoors.com/SuicideD...eHingeKit.php#

Uh... it costs a ton. And there's a lot of work involved with doing the suicides. Lambos will set you back around a grand.

suicide is awsome but lambos are ___ and out played at this point, ive been looking into the suicide doors on the rear as my winter project, there is info out there but hard to find and nobody is willing to give up their secrets..........all i can tell you is you better be a hell of a welder and fabricator and no be afraid to spend lots of money and time on this project, and your looking around 50 hrs labor per door if youcan find a shop that is willing to even touch a xB, so i dont what your labor rate is but i would bet at least $50 or more an hour for fabrication, so that makes it about $4000 labor for doors alone (just a estimate dont hold me to it) , plus parts and paint

low down xb is right man, if it wasnt for me doing mine myself it would have cost me a crap load. only cost me 450

the pic below is only about a 1/3 of the work in the 1/4 panel. there is a ton of support bars that hold the doors up too.


her is a pic of them done


you can find some vids of my car being done on youtube

Hopefully, they know what they're doing as far as body work... Otherwise, you're gonna eff up your box. Being a mechanic doesn't mean you can do the body work involved in doing suicides... there's a reason so few have done it *successfully*.

Suicide is so nice, but way too expensive to do. Maybe I'll win the lotto and do it.

if you still want the lambo doors (even though there played out), theres a guy selling them for $600. They are from vertical doors, inc. let me see if i can find it...

No body even dares say.......Gull Wing. GASP!!! thats for only the 1337357 of 1337.
Or even sliding rear doors like mini-van style. So small. They'd just slide back over that useless window. Wooo! new Hot mod. You should write this stuff down.
