Luke I'm all for custom mods but I'm sorry to say those suicide doors look TOTALLY wrong. Perhaps if they only half opened they wouldn't look as bad. It's like you photoshopped them on backwards as a bad joke...Still it IS different and if you like them then that is all that matters...
Don't fancy the chance of those hinges holding up for too much longer though. They don't compare to the factory hinges... Also be careful if you are going to max out the audio and add custom door pods/speakerage/dynamat - the combination weighs a tonne and puts the factory hinges out of alignment let alone the thin strips that you have here....
Just my 2 cents but good on you for pushing the envelope with your own ideas....

far out its threads like these that make me want to buy a jag and hook up with those snobs. Btw are those stress fractures near the hinge? if so good luck.

Yeah, there are stress cracks. The guys who did it did a dodgy job and Im taking them to court over it. They didn't use ADR approved hinges or latches, which than lead to me losing my license and my car taken off the road. Over Christmas holidays I will be redoing the doors so it will be on the road for when I get my license back in three months.
Thanks for all the positive feedback.
If you don't like it..........not my problem. To each their own. I like my cars to look as far from stock as possible.
