Question Showing Off - Covering all bases

Is there any way to make the doors open vertical on the TL?

Sure, do a gull-wing conversion. Now the question begs, why?

Send your car to them, they could experiment on it.

The hood and trunk do. A rarity, on a car in this price range.

umm...correct me if im wrong, but would that look nice on a car that has 4 doors
all of hte pictures show it on a coupe...i doubt it'd be possible on a TL and if so, it'd look like a piece of crap

if you make all 4 doors do gull wings wouldn't the rear doors block the driver and front passenger from getting out of the car? i think it looks silly on a 4 door car, even if just the front opens gull and the rear opens regular.

As I've said before, gull wings on this car means a lot of headaches and skull lumps from the self-closing door mechanism.
