Wouldn't do that to any vehicle, they are absolutely impractical.

There are a couple of kits for the FD I like. But I would never actually do that to a car. Now buying a factory car with gull wing doors or scissor doors, that is a different story, maybe one day I will be able to afford a Mercedes gull wing (can't remember the model number or year).

The only trick doors that are worth having are these, and I can't afford them:

Those were from the 1950's.... and might cost you six to seven digits...

I like the way the doors look when they are opened like that but don't know if I would do it to the 8 or not. Would have to see one first.

I know the Mercedes Gullwings are real expensive and probably will never be in my range, but I always figure I should aim high.
