Default vertical doors

i was thinkin about buying vertical doors, except i dont really know of too many places which sell them, the only place i know of is another website which sells them for 1700, which to me i dont want them badly enough to spend that much. anyone have them and can recommend anything?

Check ebay out! They have very good deals on them! Like this one!

I personally think they are not for mustangs! I think they make them look bad and riceish..

your doors will never close the same again with those garbage doors. also with our doors since its hang style, if you try and close your door and you are half an inch off, you will smash your window all over the ground.

I dont think the doors are that BAD, and they will close the same again! I mean why do sooo many people buy vertical doors, if they are that bad?//

Go to the next car show near you and look around to see if anyone has them and ask if they have any problems with them.I would think that if the door doesnt close just right it may leak when it rains.

depends on who installs them. Also if you weld the braket to the fram and weld to the door you will be ok. Its all in the install. And i have been helping my buddy out with his new shop, and he has done mustangs with the lambo doors. I personally am not a fan of them but they do look good if done correctly and he knows his stuff.

I see them all the time working at a cadillac dealership and a lot of friends are in car clubs or modifiing their vehicles, or even at car shows. lambo doors are junk but its your mustang so you can be called a riceboy if you like. riceboy.

vertical doors = rice

Plus if you drive the car daily it would be major pain in the **** dealing with vertical doors.

Personally I think you should put the $ towards a supercharger.
Lambo doors are for lambos only. Leave american muscle the way it should be.

v6 or gt i still wouldn't spend that money on how my doors open, I mean maybe $800, but the $800 kit on ebay must be trash. And matt please, even if it is a v6 dude dosn't mean he cant get a lambo doors, I got a v6 and believe it or not its not even my daily driver, its just my night time/ weekend car and even if i did get a GT, a gt wouldn't make me get any faster through traffic down here. I got a v6 and all my money is gonna just go into appearance parts, and maybe if i ever trade it in for a GT i'll just switch all my appearance parts to the GT.

i think those doors are ok but $1700 would go a long way towards a blower, but if that's what you like man wear it out. if all our cars were the same it would be pretty boring.

I took the kit off and sold it last week. I've settled down with the looks with the exception of rims as I'm purchasing a different set of rims shortly. I'm getting into road racing and open track racing like at sebring etc. It's not cheap but it's hella fun.

As far as practical goes, if you can deal with it, then it's a great addition to a non stock stang. Stock stangs do not look right with this kit on it.
