Suicide Doors

[jsanford]

Does anyone now where I can go to turn by back doors into suicide doors? Anything in the Seattle, WA area would be prefered. When I finally get a 2003 GT Cruiser I would love to add these to it.

Thanks,

Try your yellow pages or Yahoo's --> http://yp.yahoo.com

Type in your zip code and search for auto customizing shops. Should find something.

Same as Jody said... I was introduced to suicide doors over a year ago and found someone to do it but they say it will take 2 weeks of labor.

YellowPages, who would have thought <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I found a place that can do all of the modifications that I want done to my car, ghost flames, suicide doors (below), and split hatch (below).

looking to suicide my rear doors. does anyone have a price figure, and just how much work is involved. also looking to add a rear wing, but i don't want to use a stock cruiser wing. want a more aggressive looking wing. something like the eclipse. anyone have anything similar to share.

thanks!

For the suicide door kit, here's what I was told by someone who has done them before:
$350 per kit, one per door.
2 weeks or so of labor for a total (including kit) of $900 per door.

Hey Guys,
Here's another pic for ya. Found this on another site that just started up. Hope he doesn't mind me showing off his PT. His handle is "Looney Cruiser".

I too, would be interested in the suicide doors. It looks as though there are a couple different methods. The first photo posted with the PT that has the split hatch, has it's doors opening out like stock..even in height with the front doors, while the Looney Cruiser PT's doors swing much higher..I'd prefer the lower opening personally. If anyone knows how this is done, I'd be interested to know. BTW, RC..two weeks is nothing to wait to have a modification of this magnitude. I'd say you were lucky to find someone who can do it that quickly. That's a ton of work to move the hinges, the latches, and the door handles, then to refinish and repaint the doors. Two grand sounds about right for the price also..again..that's a lot of work.

The Cruiser you are asking about was done by the shop at PTeazer in Westminister, California. I was told by the owner of the shop that if I had to ask how much the conversion cost that I couldn't afford it. Even he was surprised at how much money the car's owner spent on the conversion. I do agree with you that they did a fantastic job. I've seen that car in person several times now. It's been a show winner every time. If I had the money, I'd have my Cruiser there tomorrow.
