I'm sorry, call me stupid if I'm asking stupid question, but how do you open the door???

 

[Jethro_TDot]

theres a popper that pops the door open (2thumbs)
and its controlled by a remote control (correct me if wrong)

[Natey]

[Rider69]

just to play devils advocate...what do u *not* like about it? I mean it would be no different if it were a Basic yellow P5 w/ the top 1/2 painted black would it?... its got its jdm look goin on ..hehe

What do u think would look better?

i dunno if you saw his earlier posts same basic design only the paint was gunmetal.

even though my opinion isnt totally neutral .. if i saw it drivin down the road..i would think it looks pretty original..its not same -o same-o... ya know..

my $0.02

naw man dont worry about it... its ur opinion... and at least u didnt say it like some of the fools on board...

 

[mooS mooS]

when im done it should look like dis...

looking verrrry nice, man... but umm.. you already got a Ding on the Rear passenger door ....

 

[2K3 MSP]

Along with the remote release for the doors, you should look into some sort of a manual over ride for it. A buddy of mine had a Cavalier(I know) with shaved doors, and he had jumped out of his car real quick one day and accidentally shut the door with the motor running. He ended up having to break the window to open the door from the inside.

 

[JrTekSilverP5]

damn that sucks... and btw... i dont have the ding anymore

 

[mountjonas]

something about the roof doesn't look right and it's because it's a picture. i'm sure it'll look killer when it's done, but it looks like those fake convertible tops you see old people put on their caddy's. i like the yellow, if you could get it to look that vibrant, sweet.

 

[lwscottk]

Hope you take a lot of "progress" shots along the way...

I don't know if I missed it or it wasn't mentioned here. Are you doing the work yourself or is a shop?

Cheers,
Scott

Good job on the shave. I'd have to say that your car will stand out from the crowd. I really like the concept. My question is this, is the paint on the roof going to be flat, cause thats how it appears in the pic. If so, Im not to sure about that Flat paint concept. Also, have you given any thought to what user name you are going to use when your done! JrTekSilverp5 wont be all that fitting now will it?!

 

[JrTekSilverP5]

to answer lwscottk... no im not doin it myself... i have a very good shop doin all the work...

and to answer u cruzin... i havent thought of a name yet... anybody have ideas for a new name???
