USA Suicide doors

I've been think about put a suicide door kit on my rear doors but knowing that I would have to either move the handles to the other side or just shave them Im not sure if I'm going to do it or not, but I think it would look pretty cool.. anybody ever done this before?

IT would seem there are a lot more things to worry about than the placement of the door handles once you are done. If you are worried about door handle placement then I would have to say it is probably not eh thing for you.

You should worry more about placement of the hinges...

What you are proposing would probably look cool, but it would not be easy, and would not be cheap.
You will have to find an experienced shop that is willing to cut up the door (to reverse the locations of the hinges and latch, and then also do the same to the car. This is not an easy fabrication job, especially with the wheelhousing in the way.

just shave the handles and use remote release for super sexyness =)

you should be worried about it falling off or failing to aid in rear passenger protection =)
