There are some shops in Japan that sell carbon fiber doors for the FD that would probably work well for something like this, however, it could be a pain getting the doors here. I think it's Panspeed or something like that who has the doors...

RX-7 Flip up doors
I investigated this further. Not only are there cost implications but it would be impossible to insure as these doors would not be approved in North America. So why invest thousands with no guarantee?
Too bad though.

Who cares about the insurance issues, most people who have FD's have all kinds of stuff on them that isn't allowed by the insurance company. When I have the extra cash I'm going to get a set of carbon fiber Panspeed doors and get that done.

I believe that price of $3500 per door was just for the work and the frabrication of the door hinges. I think you still need to purchase the doors themselves.

Hi canman6969,
Are those FRP doors just the outside doorskins with a permanently fixed position lexan window or are they doors that allow you to use the stock windows and internals? Thanks - Tommy

on another note, it looks like ill be able to afford one lambo-door after this summer, so at car shows ill just pop the drivers door and lock the passenger door. Damn, im crafty(or maybe cheap, the jury is still out on that)

I missed this a LONG time ago.... The whole door it CF or FRP, and you just put in the guts to your stock door, it bolts right in..

. you will have to develop a whole new technique of getting in/out of the car. some yoga and gymnastics classes will help.

I'm not so sure about this ebay guy, but someone does make a conversion kit because there is a company called K1 styling that make conversion kits for Cameros and Trans-AMs. They claim that everything is bolt on and I believe they will be displaying this spring at Carlisle, PA. Here'e a pic of the Camero, and this is with heavy *** stock doors so tey claim. http://www.k1-styling.sk/evo2/exterior/03a.jpg

i did this conversion on my civic... took us about a year or so to get it done... all custom... one off job. the doors open/ close on actuators, the door comes out then up in order to clear the fenders.... we got alot of parts from a place in town that builds/sells handicap vehicles.. mainly vans n stuff... like the kind that have electric and hydraulic lifts for wheel chairs... here are some pics...
