You guys with 2 dr Chargers can't do this

Saw this at a local show.  Seen gull wings etc. but never seen it done like this.  Only seemed to have 1 bolt holding the doors on.  Not something I would have thought of or done but it was something definitely different from the norm. Does anyone else here do this?  Just doesn't seem to safe to me.

You're right, two door Chargers can't do that.  One more reason not to own a four door one I guess.

none other than to look cool. Even as a fan of the 4 door Charger, I agree that it's pretty retarded...same deal with the "Lambo" doors.

now , lets think this thing through!! :scratchchin: what if you are on a long trip across country and you need to sleep but there is no hotel around. just a campground. then you could lay in the back seat at 6'1" and stretch out. and if it started raining you could flip the doors over to block the rain.  :2thumbs: :shruggy:

the funniest thing is that the dude that owns it went through all the trouble to get the doors tricked out but couldn't swing $100 to get the windows tinted or a couple hundred for a lowering kit.

I'm rolling with Ponch and Per on this. Frankly, different strokes etc but IMO that's just butt ugly. What's with the horizontal door mount? Why would you mod a door so when its "open" you can't get into the car unless you're a hobbit? Lambo mods are one thing, this is just stupid.

I didn't look at it real hard but from what I could tell it just had one of the bolts removed and rotated on the other.  Didn't look like anything got modified.  I just wondered if it got driven with only one bolt in it and what about passengers?

IO wonder how it would stand up in a side hit,would the door come off????

Thank Goodness!  Who would want to......

One more reason not to have extra doors, IMHO.

Cars like that don't do anything to help the "4 doors are better" argument.

I wonder if it rattles when it's driven?  Doesn't seem like it woul be very stabile.

I can't believe we're still bashing on four door chargers.   I'm glad I have a 'hemi" magnum instead of a charger, just so I don't have to be mocked by all you guys. I put hemi in quotes so you guys don't have to tell me "it's not a hemi" even though it technically really is.

I actually DIDN'T buy a magnum for that reason as I do find it less ugly than the charger.  I won't buy any more dodge's if they keep making them like they are now.

I found the Magnum to be a lot better looking too.  It's unfortunate they had to drop it IMO.

The people who typically get "mocked" as you call it are the ones trying to convince us the new "Charger" is something that it isn't.

well i dont like the new charger. even with the fancy new colors. but while everyone is coming out with bubble shaped cars, dodge comes out with the magnum. which i think is hot for a drum buggy. the 300 which is one of the best looking classy cars, and the challenger. at least they are trying.

The current Charger is a performance 4 door sedan that shares little to nothing of the heritage of the 2nd gen Charger other than the name.

That is why it should have never been labeled a "Charger".
