    I have my VX taken apart right now, and unless you literally do custom sheetmetal for a living, I think it's going to look like a mutant abortion. The lines just aren't there to do it right, and the safety side of cutting into the B pillar is dubious at best. Could it be done? Absolutley. Is it going to car makeover show style montage to do it? Hells yes.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    I have to agree with Ascinder. I looked at my VX last night trying to visualize fj doors and can't see it working.

    Here's a paint mock up, I personally don't like the door seam through the rear pillar.

    You would have to figure out a new seat belt config too, though that is not insurmountable. Plenty have vehicles have them coming out of the top of the seat (which I hate because my shoulder is usually taller than the seatback).
