hahaha.

I don't think I've ever seen scissor doors on an NA. I'm sure someone on ebay could hook you up with a kit. But it'll probably be made in china and fall off as soon as you leave the carpark

Ummmmmm - you drive a car with roof optional - leave nothing to steal, and climb out Dukes of Hazard style. :D

Looks like a very narrow opening. To me the doors need to lift further forward to make entry/exit more comfortable.

Certainly can be done, sure wouldn't be easy.

If you really want it, by all means go for it. Can't imagine you'd get much support around here though.

They look ugly and serve no practical purpose. What more can I say.
