    Go Lambo with linear actuators to open it for you.

      How old are you? Not trying to be a smartass, it's a valid question. If you're older you will most likely rather have the suicide doors because it's much easier getting in and out. If you're younger and that doesn't matter, the lambo doors are the new rice thing and will make you more popular with that crowd.

      I like a nice set of suicide doors.. looks cleaner, not all flash.. and you won't bump your head.

        Almost 25yrs. But the suicide doors also have their disadvantage cause the dash & steering wheel use up alot of the opened space, while the lambo doors when done properlt can give you almost as much room. The door will occupy the same area as the dash & steering wheel. Also the lambo doors will give you more opening in real world in situations like parking lots. If you could get the suicide doors to open far enough they would give you more of an opening, but as said it would impair real world situations.

        Why not get a custom body kit made, a real nice convertable a nice dash kit overlay, or you know something that we could apply to all of our cars since we did help you win

              i say go with what you like best, personally i like both styles, i think either one looks sick

              1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
              2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

              1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                I wanna see lambo doors, havent seen a Festy yet with lambo or delorean style doors. I was hoping to be the 1st late next year, I want to see you do it. It would be nice to see a Festy with a unique door opening style. Beat to the punch I want to see it done.

                    Logan.. wouldn't you just swap latches and hinges from each door side (R to L and L to R) and then swap them front to back?

                      Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.

                          both kinds of doors are out they said they dont use crappy kits, and the kits they use are $800, so they either want to do a complete exterier job (custom body kit all fiberglass shaved handles "the works") they said "it would basically be show worthy BUT we arent going to tuch the interior" OR they will do an B6 turbo swap for me and all i need to add is $100 more dollars , i think im going to go for the engine swap.
