umm, you're right that's a big door for most parking spaces.

Good news they were able to keep the b-pillar in place to make getting in and out even more difficult

We've reached a new low.
I wonder if the owner realizes Dodge already makes a two-door Neon.

I saw a Neon this past weekend with scissor doors (think Lambo). I thought it was cool, if an odd choice to do it to, until I realized what a complete hack it was. He had to swing the doors down to a normal level, and then swing them horizontally closed as if they were regular doors.

If you're going to go full custom:
1. Start with a decent car in the first place.
2. Commit and don't do it half-assed.

Why else? To call attention to themselves on the Internet....and on the road.
