I like the look of them, but am sure I would hit my head every day on them. Not to mention where the water would drip when the doors are opened.
Whose car is that in the pics john?

Good lord those fog lights on that Laguna are atrocious.
I really like the doors on both cars though - it seems to fit the SVX's style. Now if only I could justify spending $1k on a "kit" that comes with some metal brackets and a shock absorber...

Gullwings can't be done, especially not on an SVX. Doing it on any car is HARD, if even do-able - the amount of structural integrity needed is enormous, and everything down to the shape of the door itself on the DeLorean was made around those Gullwings. (Same with the old Benz... 300SL was it?)
I REALLY like those butterflies, but I bet we couldnt do that either with leaving our windows the way they are. Glass is the enemy in an exercise such as this, and we have ALOT of it. BUT, I bet if you swapped out the "top" glass piece for some reinforced metals, you could pull it off...  (along with lots of other modifications too)
