No, but I am working on setting up Star Trek force fields instead of doors. . . the fields are almost in place, I just need to harmonize the resonant frequencies.

Are you kidding? A gullwing C32? I guess it could be done with enough money, but why???

You can always get the Kleemann scissor doors install done for $30,000, but it's not for C32s.

LOL 30 grand for doors that take 5 years to open and close. Well, I guess it's true what they say about a fool and his money...

I know some shops only charge a few grand for it. My friend (ricer) got it done on a prelude for $1500.


Dont do it on a 4 door car tho.

the C32 should have a ejection seat like they do in fighter jets

instead of air bags, the car should just pop off the roof and eject the driver and passengers

OR

the C32 could have jus a passenger ejection seat that ejects on request

haha

haha I always mess with people when they ask wht the SOS red light is for. I pop it open and tell them if they dont sht up ill eject them.

only bad part is last week the person acutally pushed it and couldnt figure out how to hang up.

I think the doors would look hot on a CLK 55 not a C32 but then again 50 does have them on a escalade and it looks good.

I think it would look incredibly stupid. Your car and your money though.

Don't forget to add the gold spinners along and the gold lettering package with those fly doors. haha
