That's BS. Passengers are covered as long as they're in your vehicle and you carry bodily-injury coverage. It doesn't matter if they're belted in or not, or if you installed seat belts or not. This would have been a LOT better option than trying to convert an AA5 with door poppers. What specific part of the warranty would have been voided for installing a seat and seat belts, anyway? BTW, I hope you meant '08 instead of '06 for the donor doors. They didn't make a panel back in '06.

On another note, vehicle conversions are very much alive and well. Vans have been abandoned by the mainstream market because of the SUV craze, but they're still out there. Many are fully converted into wide-body RVs.

Hey, you're the lawyer, who am I to argue , but I wonder, if you install fibreglass racing seats in a car WITHOUT harnesses and during casual driving, you lose control and your girlfriend is thrown out the window and injured severely, don't you think the insurance company would fight any medical claims to the end? Hyperthetically speaking, of course?

They could try to fight it and probably would until your girlfriend hired her own lawyer, but no ID lawyer is going to take that case to trial. Most likely they'd try to delay paying for the damage to your car and your own medical claims, but passengers and other vehicles damaged are usually settled quite quickly.

Golden insurance rule: always hire your own lawyer when making an accident claim!

thank you for the welcome

sorry took so long to reply... been busy

in some responce to your replys:

about the door/seat situation-
easier to deal with 10 bolts in a "clip on" situation with the doors -- loosen 5 bolts each door, pop trim, disconnect pillar harness, remove bolts, replace door, connect harness/trim, tighten bolts-- DONE, as opposed to ordering seats, seat belts, seat/seat belt fasteners, removing floor carpet, seat belt pillars etc etc

either way its the same effect plus i get all the benefits of the accomodations of the passenger model as opposed to the cargo model -- more or less i didnt want to find out after an accident if there would be a problem so i took the safe way out ^_^ and as a bonus--- if someone jacks up my rear doors, i can always switch them back with the stock doors

as for pics, i think i have a few laying around here....
