Lift up doors - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

Anyone see the new sport compact. One that had that teg with (sp)lambergini style lift up doors. Looked pretty nice. Most of all it looked original. Kinda wanted to make my teg have something that not every other person driving around has. Anyone know a place that sells a converstion kit or something?

Nope, Gull Wing doors go up like that on the DeLorean. I forgot what the name of the Lamborghini style doors are.

$$$$$i was gonna be the 1st on my other teg, but some one beat me to it because of the $$$$$$

Yea i was posting and asking in a couple other places on different sites. and i made a couple calls to the local shops and they said (threads and the shops) That there really isn't a kit or anything. and that a body shop would have to do it and that it is a complete custom job. Which i can see costing around that much. Cause if you think about it. If there was a kit... Everyone and there brother would have it :\

And if you live in a city that the parking space is small...you may not be able to open the door without hitting the car next to you.

i wouldnt mind having those doors, but whats the point when you dump all your cash for the doors and you dont even have money to buy yourself and emblem. HAHAHA

......AND what if the clearance between your car is not enough for the "BUTTERFLY" doors to fully open?

anyways...ive seen that conversion on so many cars...including, civics (coupe), crxs, mr2's to name a few... the crx one...had some article on it and..... somewhere in the text, he said he used gas type shocks for the doors lift. makes sense.....anyways, ive got to see the integra one.... it must look sexxy eh??

BTW: heres a pic of that crx... (not a good view)

i know this is isnt part of the topic but heres a 3rd gen teg with the 4th gen tails... (IMO: taillights look to fat like the rsx)
