well it took about 6 hours total and here is some pics of install.

From this point you can see where we removed the fender and decided to cut a little area behind it to make the hindge fit better.

they only open that much?? oohh and do you really have to cut that piece off the fender cuz i tought vertical doors inc. were completly bolt on? but otherwise nice looking car and gotta love the doors now go and win some shows with them doors.

JSRIDE · June 27th, 2007, 11:58 AM

i think you have to shave a lil bit of the inner part if the fenders. How much does the kit cost?????

NotUrAvg4G · June 27th, 2007, 12:12 PM

about $1000. im 6'6 so there is no way in hell i could get in and out of that car

darb454 · November 4th, 2007, 06:47 AM

where did u get $1000 from? i checked the sit and lists at $1800 anyone else know where u can get the same bolt on kit but save some $$, and when u installed the kit did u have to extend any of the wires for the door? how well do the shocks suport the dorr i know some kits they are week and heavy wind will through them around

wow i didnt know my how to made it here.

they only open that much and the fender you have to roll in cause when it goes up it will rub on the arm of the car. the other part where i cut out a piece was just my oppinion to do to make it flush with the mounting area. you dont have to do it i just thought it would be better.

there are ways to get the kit cheaper but people will bash me probably for that so if you would like to know let me know. also the shocks hold up pretty good only have problems with them in really cold weather they tend to fall down a little. and they do move in heavy wind but i just dont open them up and get in like normal.

nice, im def installin those

sboarder97km · March 11th, 2009, 11:08 AM

Do you have to extend any wires?? Im about to purchase a kit, and think I can do it myself but I dont know about the extension of wires. Can anyone help me please?!

darb454 · March 11th, 2009, 11:27 AM

apparantly you dont from what ive read you dont need to do any cutting might need to pull a bit of slack out and replace the rubber hose with wire loom. im waiting till its a bit warmer out to install my kit

sboarder97km · March 11th, 2009, 01:27 PM

It doesnt seem too difficult if you dont need to extend the wires.

darb454 · March 11th, 2009, 06:13 PM
