...AND; the rear doors have a lip which sits behind the fronts the entire way down, making it impossible to open the front edge of the door without major modifications to VERY thin sheet metal. I spoke with Erich at length about this last year and he said it was a total nightmare (doing the rear suicides).

There is no way a bolt-on kit for $500 will allow rear suicide doors to work, let alone provide Lambo doors in the same kit.

Someone will still buy it though...

The lambo doors aren't in the same kit. They cost way more.

I have a bunch of friends with modified Fieros that have these things.. Personally I hate them. Having to open your door normally 10 inches and then raise it up. Most of the people I know just pull the door out and slide in unless they are trying to show off. Then they raise the doors. Not something we want on our HHR.
