Let's just say this is probably going to cost ALOT more than a set of rims/tires. I tried to do that on my integra and I ended up losing $10,000 and 3 years of my life. I will post pics as soon as I can find them, but dude, do NOT even try this. Trust me it is more of a headache than it is worth.

What's the bet when you buy this he sends you a picture of an S2000 on it's side.

I saw this once on a 96 Accord coupe that was all.. well, for lack of a better term "riced out".

I still don't understand the fascination with the scissor doors. I've sat in the Diablo and it makes ingress/egress more difficult than with the normal swing out doors.

The point, Douglas, is to make it easier to find a parking space.

The Diablo is super wide, and the doors open up (not out) to compensate for that.

It would be different for a little car like the S2000 though.

The most radical I would go is T-Tops on a hardtop. That's it...

Parking space? If you say so.. me thinks Lamborghini does it because that has been their trademark ever since the Countach. I know that if I had a Diablo, I wouldn't be parking it in a space that is too small for me to easily get out of the car anyhow... you know, with the worries of door dings and all..

Parking space?

You're driving a convertible! You don't even have to open the doors to get out if you don't want to.

Do I think vertical doors would be cool? No, I think they would be tacky.

Well, let's see....he's selling information ONLY on how to do something that obviously would cost a lot more than a se of rims and tires, and he only shows pics of cars that were designed from the get-go to have scissor doors, which means he's never actually seen those instructions put to use. Yeah, that makes me want to throw money his way...

I saw one of these ads on one of the car mags once. It was for a Honda Civic. I forget which mag, but I did save the website link.

Not much info on price, although they are expecting new model conversions soon for Acura RSX and Toyota MR2, but nothing mentioned about the S.

If anyone is interested, we do this conversion, and yes we are doing it to my S2000.

The cost - $5000. and we need the car for a month
