Is it even possible? The door jamb design makes it nearly impossible, you'd have to recess the B pillar area so the door can open.
You do realize why they're called Suicide doors right?
Back in the Teens and Twenties doors opened in the opposite direction, kinda like how the rear doors on mid sixties Thunderbirds do, and when you fling them open passing traffic from behind can hit the door and crush you to death.
Unless your talking about Lambo doors...

I always thought the term "suicide" came from an unfortunate situation where you needed to jump out of a moving car but then end up getting wacked by your own door.. It sucks carrying our coupe doors around fully loaded, must weigh 70+ pounds depending on options. I would imagine a hefty amount work involved and wouldnt expect a cheap bill.
SuicidedRegal said:Yes it is possible. Full 90 degrees. Made my own hinges.
do you have a picture of the hinge and what kind of protection does it offer if you get t-boned?...must be a pain to wire the power window and locks...
