Like I originally posted I do like the look, BUT that was not what made me decide on them. I have trouble with my knees bending like they did when I was 26 (they are 63 now) and when in a parking space that someone next to me has decided to "snuggle up" I can almost always open to the first stop. By lifting the door vertcally it opens up the area by your feet allowing you to sit down and swivel your legs in.
These cars have wide doors and are so low with seating that makes your legs rest at about 75 degrees, it is very difficult to get in without opening the door almost all the way. If I could swing my feet through between the seat and door panel, most often I would kick the speaker cover. With the Vertical Doors, this has been eliminated. I was actually "locked" out of my car several times before I got the doors modified.
Everyone who has tried them marvels at how much easier it is to get in and out. How do they look? Fantastic. At car shows the kids like to call my car "the Transformer", the ladies just call it sexy.
If you don't like them, I strongly suggest you not get them. But to declare them "stupid" without checking them out is....well just plain STUPID!
BTW The Vertical Doors kit is a bolt on with a modified washer bottle. There have been a few cases where the modified bottle leaking after time. If you are interested in getting one of these bolt on kits for $1000 plus shipping send me a PM.
