Why would you install doors where you would have to chop up the existing body to do so?

I like em. I think it would be sooo much easier to get out of crowded parking spots. I just know a bunch of purist would hate it devaluing my car.

Looks like a good way to get lots of fingerprints on your doors (unless there is a different way to close them than the movie demonstrates).

Is that the factory license plate bracket?

Meh.

It looks like you'd have to be careful not to bump your head if the windows are up.
