Crazy Idea Question?
 
My question is if it would be possible to customize your doors to open upwards like on a lamborgini or something? I think it could be possible but what all would i need?

I've thought about it, too, but you'd need everything a custom paint & body shop has, including experience. ;)

once saw a 99-2000 stang vert that had doors that opened like that. basically its just a diferent hinge and a shock on each door. theres more to it than that, obviously, but parts wise, thats all there really is.

Anything is possible if you own your own welder :-D

If I went this route I would make sure the door frame was reinforced so in a side collision the door would not intrude into the passenger compartment. Those 1" thick hinges add a lot of strength to the door and prevent it from collapsing into your seat when struck from the side.
FWIW.
