Though... I wonder, if it's not enough, couldn't I just put a second one, thus doubling the strength?

I like the hinge side idea, I'm clumsy by nature, if it's sticking out, I'm sure to get dings on my shins, legs, etc. wherever it is if it's on the latch side...

yea using different hinges for the suicide doors and welding bracing everywhere makes it pretty different. there's a slight angle built into my poppers, with a angle to the popper and a dip in the door skin to counter the angle. if you search door poppers on ebay there's a bunch like mine. i mean if you want it hinge side like mine it'll probably be alot of hacking and welding. so i'd go lower corner latch side. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
