maybe you need to talk to Dantes, this member is interested in the same thing. It's been done to a Civic. It cost closed to 10K plus many problems.

it's not called suicide doors either...these are the ones that latch/open where the hinges should be, and are hinged where the latch should be.

i believe the lambo doors are called scissor doors.

Anything can be done with the right amount of money. I know of several places in cali (because cali has all the good shit) that will do a great job. Not sure where "br" is but in NY near me theres only 1 or 2 reputable places I've heard of that turned LEGENDS and ACCORDS into convertibles. From what I've heard it can cost from 3-5k. The lamborghini style is gullwing and I think suicide doors are those on the new SATURN. They open like gates from outside in so I tihnk you need 4 doors for that. It's nice but wouldnt you need a bigger parking spot Not sure..I'm not good with depth perception.

I'd think unibody with a sunroof would not be a good starting point for gullwing doors.

If you want gullwing doors so much, go buy a DeLorean =)

Gullwing doors suck. It was what helped kill DeLorean. Couldn't get out of the car in a normal /American parking space(tight), couldn't use most driveins(Mc Donalds, Burger King etc. etc) and if you succeeded in parking when you got back you couldn't get back in the car. Gullwings suck. Al
