Ac3mastuh, car looks great! I agree with Boost, fix the white color on your pics though.
The vertical doors on Shinka213 were bolt-ons and nothing was cut/flared out, as I remember her saying in the post with her vertical doors pics.
These are the prototype bolt-on hinges from GT Factory. I got a super deal on these for being their test vehicle but the hinge will only require a bit of cutting for the hinge to clear but that's the same with all the vertical door kits. No welding is required when you use this kit. What's nice too is that the hood still opens fully while the doors are open. This kit will be sold for $1600 US and you can contact these guys at www.gtfactory.jp

the rubbing isn't because of the diameter of the wheel but actually the offset that has the wheels further to the outside of the car. I went with a rather aggresive offset to get a nicer look but I had to roll my fenders. If you don't want to roll you fenders then go with a conservative offset like +45 instead of +37

I have my doors for over 2 years i believe but i m going to add a second strut...
Well the question is how many struts and what pressure each did u install in each door??As i can remember the kit included 4 struts 150lb each...I have right now one 180lb strut to each door-i purchased it later-and thinking of getting another 90lb stut to each door

It should be one 150lb strut as in the kit it had only 150lb struts...I have the audio equipment and my door is a big heavier and i want it to open without to force it by itself...Thanks mate
I still don't have my new body kit or hood yet but its been a real headache for the last 6 months. At least now its coming together and its something I'm really proud of.
