damn that's my idea, it's just too d@#% costly for me at this point in time. I can't justify it, at least not until I need a new hinge.

so far this has only been done in saudi arabia, and it is VERY costly

Gullwings on anything with more than 2 doors is still a universal "No NO bad Hott!"

Are we talking Gullwings..? The term gull-wing door is used to describe automobile doors which are hinged at the roof. They are so named because, when opened, the doors evoke the image of a seagull's wings.

Or Vertical (AKA Lambo style) doors..?

Good luck. It's hard to get right from what I understand. What I mean is, it's hard to make sure both doors open the same and look equal. Probably because there are no kits for the Elantra. I think they use a Civic kit.

I know its expensive as hell, but what about lambo doors regulary for the front, and reverse lambo doors for the rear?

I'm seeing $699 for an elantra, and they show pictures of a few different hyundais.

I was planning on doing it to mine before HITH, but I have to get the A/C fixed first, and my roommate is moving out, so I'll be losing like $700 a month. It'll have to wait a few months.
Plus now I have to talk my wife into every mod I do ;)
