    Hmm, I'm guessing you haven't checked the price on this mod? And I think you'll need a VX first to do it. Please be the first and THEN report back you did it - lots of gonna on the web...

    It will be about a grand, but well worth it. It will look great. Just make sure to take it to a place that knows that they are dealing with. Our door is not as light as a Civic's so it will need a lot of integral support.

    I hope you follow through and do it. Might consider doing it after you.

    FWIW, I work with a guy that has a big ***** Nissan Armada and had his doors done at DUB up in LA. They open like normal, or pivot out then swing up and go really high. It looks cool sitting there, but is a PITA to get in and out of with the doors up. He got them as a free promo, but it was about a 2k job to have the guys that really know what they're doing do it. I have seen a few around where guys did the cheap kit themselves, and it looks and works like that.
    Good luck though, and yes, if I won the lotto one of my VXs in the fleet would have them, and maybe 30" spinners, and TuPac airbrushed on the hood.....

    Well, back in the day I owned an 83 Delorean. I LOVED IT but the cost of maintenance and insurance was to much and I purchased a "normal" car. I must say that I really have missed the gullwing doors.

    Someone said that gullwing doors may be a better idea...I'm not sure. I've only seen Lambo and Scissor Door "kits" available for the VX, not a gullwing.

    I am completely serious about doing this mod but if I feel that it will compromise structural integrity or will cause many problems (leaks, weak hinges, etc) down the road then it would not be worth it and I'll not make the mod. I don't want to destroy my VX but if this will work out then I will certainly do it and probably this summer. I guess I just really miss the gullwing and was hoping that Lambo/Scissor would work out.
