I have never understood the suicide door thing, all that work and the result is a car that looks exactly the same, until you open the door.... seems like a waste of time to me, but it is not my car. I would use that effort to make a modification that will make the car look or perform better.....
I have a friend that did this to a coupe and he was never happy with the results. So much so that he changed it back to original style within a couple of months or less. Never looked right, and actually killed the looks of the car. It beat the hell out of the A- pillar because of the body flex and there was always the worry of the doors opening at cruising speed. Lots of work to achieve nothing but experience.
