anyone done suicide doors on an aveo?

for the longest time i always wanted those "lambhorgini"(sp) forward vertical doors, but after much thought, i decided they were way to "rice". sure they look cool, but all they really say is, A--"i have way to much money invested in something who's value only decreases over time", and B--"im extremely unoriginal". and i know that most of you are thinking, "hey man! we drive ****ing Aveo's!! its up to us to do anything we can to give these turds SOME form of credibility!!" on that stream of thought, i agree. but i dont believe that making our cars look and sound like Civics from the local "circuit" is the way to go. i went on this rant to stop people from saying "just use lambo doors, they're easier".

my question is, have any of you ever installed suicide doors? i get the gist of it just by watching youtube and looking closely at the kit, but once i looked at the shape of our door frame and door, i quickly realized i'd have to do alot of "filling" to square things up and make it easier. whats the best way to do this?

you are going to need a lot of fabrication work to make the front doors suicide. because they will need to open into the other doors. the rear door hinges are where the front door hinges need to go, etc.. but it could be done, but only after doing the rear door too..

if you get sweep out hinges, so instead of the door opening like it does now. the whole door comes out of the jamb, you would be able to do the back more easily. with some reinforcement on the door and piller you could put the hinges closer together so the shape wont matter.

you could do that to the front door too, but the door will be sitting on top of the rear door, so you couldnt open both at the same time.

the reason all the honduh kids do lambo doors is it is a bolt in kit. suicide doors even though offered in kits, the work to make them function properly usually requires the skill if a person who doesnt "need" the kit..

i noticed that as well. the body of the door is extremely thin near the "back" of the door making a direct set-up impossible unless you fold and wrinkle the damn thing. i remember my thoughts being "well damn! if only these suicide hinges took the door out of the jam before opening" do they make these sweep out suicide kits? i certainly havent been able to find one. i dont lack the skill to install these, im quite good with tools and machines, its just my daily driver. i hate making mods that dont get done in a single day because i have to drive it half ass till its done lol.

you will need reinforcement in the pillar, these style hinges either way for front and rear are the rounded ones on this page:

not the flat style available everywhere else..

the single hinge kits are available for the rear doors.. but like i said, this is a big project, not a bolt in kit, or even a guided custom job..

good luck.

are you refering to the hinges general design, or the "Large Suicide Hinges, End Mount" designed hinge?? im refering to you saying "round hinges" as apposed to flat ones.

on a side note, i tried emailing this guy, and none of my mails went through. i got automated responses that informed me my client wasn't reached. is this guy legit, or did he just change his email and never update the web page??

i havent been on in a while. and will be on less often for the next month or so..

but i was just using that site for the pictures. no referral.

look at the pictures of the hinge. the one with the arm that is P shaped, will take the door completely out of the jamb, the flat ones can do it also depending on how mounted, but not as well.

the single large style would be what you would want for the back, since in order to do the fronts, you need to do the back too.
