Default CRX-Lamborghini style doors

Hey, I'm brand new here. I just got this 90' CRX like last week, and I wanna do all sorts of stuff to it, but I was online looking at other people's mods and I saw this one with these lamborghini style fold up doors on it. It blew my mind. Anyone know where I can have that kind of stuff done or about how much it would cost?

for those bracket kits it's like over 1000 bucks i believe...isn't it?...i don't know...never really like it myself...puts too much weight on the a-pillars too or somethin like that...i wouldn't waste my time doin that but some people like it that much...see ya...try decah.net....they have the kits for it...and do a search on the forums...someone was sellin em on here i think...later

thanks dog. Is that pretty hard to do yourself? labor cost for someone else to do it would prolly be a bitch huh?

i have no idea about costs...my advice to you though...spend the 1000's it would cost to do that door conversion and instead get a zc, and just rebuild it...for turbo or natural aspiration...you could get forged internals, new cams, valves, valves springs, valve retainers, clutch and flywheel, crankshaft, all kinds of shizzz to make your car really reliable...or just get a zc and put in a new clutch and flywheel or somethin...and then throw a sub in the back or somethin...it sounds like you're goin kinda all show, no go route...hopefully not...but spendin over 1000 bucks to make your doors go up the way they weren't meant to and partially mess up your chassis?, come on...later

You know what? I think you're absolutely right. I should worry about being all show AFTER I make it a reliable car. I never really considered an engine swap, but it sounds like a good idea. I think for now, all I'm going to do is cold air intake and a new header.
