Vertical doors on a Gen 2.

[triplexotica]

I know I know dumb and childish question...

But is it possible to put vertical doors on a Gen.2?

I've had the guys at West Coast Customs look at my car a couple of years back when they were out here in Vegas.

They said it could be done but..... The tooling to do them would be fairly expensive.

I've also heard there's some guy in Dubai that has a Gen2 ACR with vertical doors, but no one has ever had a picture of it.

I've always wanted to do this to one of my ACR's just to see how it would look like and also to see if it could be done.

I have always wondered what this would look like too. I can't imagine it would be a good mod though.

That picture was in my mind too but I have to admit I am curious to see what it would look like on a Viper

 

[jasontiff]

My guess is that it'd look like a 55 gallon drum of fail.

The hinges are tucked pretty far up underneath the hood, so opening the doors without opening the hood would be a nightmare. Even if something was fabricated to clear it, your doors would either a.) NOT be vertical and instead make a big-ass V (for "viper" perhaps?) or b.) they'd have to be stuck out so far from the body of the car to clear the hood AND be vertical they'd look more like Optimus Prime or a Koeniggsegg.

or more like the gull wings of mb or delorean?

I was thinking like the doors on an Enzo.

Notice I did not say LAMBO doors?

I think that could be Dave's next project...

How about just painting the doors white?

now you gone an' did it








he's just joking dave, stop at the hood vents

 

[Ratical2]

If Dave had a GT2(White with blue strips for those who don't know), what color would the hood vents be???

Back to the vertical doors, anything can be done if you have the coin to do it. The question is how good would it look and how well would it function. I think Jasontiff answered the question by explaining how far the door would have to hinge out before it could make it's upward swing. It kind of defeats the original purpose for which this type of hinge was created.

The Viper is meant to move, not stand still... any "improvement" made for the Viper at rest is pointless.... well except for brakes.

Dave seriously think about it if you need a few Shiners (100's) let me know I have a big fridge loaded bud!

I really enjoy the Shiner Bock.

Is clear a color?





And um where do the blue um strips go on a GT2?

Okay, Blue stripes....I did it again!

Your wish has come true!!!

 

[dave6666]

Your wish has come true!!!

Those have been around for a while. They're a universal kit that as he says may not even work.

Please do not rely completely on my application descriptions to determine if this part will fit your application. Please examine the picture carefully and compare it to your application before ordering.

Hey maybe you could put some 22's on there to ? Maybe even some fuzzy dice and pin stripes ? If you wanted a lambo you should have bought one. Dont screw up what is already a great car...

As the price point for getting into a Viper continues to drop, you will see more questions like this.

 

[triplexotica]

Just look at my ACR's do you honestly think I would try it? Wishful thinking that's all!

My question "was" could it be done?

 

[Qualitywires.com]

How would you get out? I say leave Lambo doors on Lambos. But it's YOUR car so if it makes you happy then do it.

That's pretty cool. I was thinking more on the Enzo or SLR doors than Lambo doors.

 

[twinturbo3150]

make them open like the CCX

Unfortunately you are correct...

As the price point for getting into a Viper continues to drop, you will see more questions like this.

And if anyone actually does it, the value of ours goes up. So I encourage people to attempt this mod.

The only thing worse would be airbag suspension...... oh wait... thats been done too.
