Post Lambo Door: US Vendor

Hi,

Came across this much-discussed vertical door conversion while searching for other parts. While there were many existing threads covering the topic, this vendor seems to have the best price seen thus far in my casual look. So for those who are interested, here is the photo without the mouse-cursor-kill-nonsense:



You can find the detail at APlus Performance

If you have problem with the link, try searching for "jt-04mrx8". This is a public announcement. Not affiliated with the vendor. Caveat Emptor!

i love vertical doors on sports cars, but have strayed away from it on the rx8 as it also holds the rear doors back and i dont see how this could possibly be very safe to mess with the doors because they NEED to be reliable

To get in you must:

I want them but I have heard they are a nightmare on daily driven cars and that they come off alignment often

I doubt it is THAT HARD to get in and out of

I dont really care for lambo doors on our cars but if you are at a car show or in a parking lot with a lot of avg (non Import aftermarket savy) people. They are amazed by lambo doors. Just cause they have never seen them before. I would only consider them if they were free cause they would attract much more attention at car shows.

no, you'll get more attention at an import car shows with those rare horizontal opening doors...vertical doors are so common nowadays you'd stick out with normal doors at an import show.
