To each his own, I like them and that's what counts. The tails come standard on the RS3.

I actually love my tails... I like how the turn signal lights are red instead of the standard amber you'll find on the accessory version.

Just because someone doesn't like lambo doors you have to justify that as them not being able to afford it? :loser:

Don't be cocky because of your door hinges.

side note: did you get every trd accessory available?

Imperial
07-26-2008, 05:20 PM
I don't mind some people not liking lambo doors, but if their gonna be a b*tch about it, then so will I.

Yes, VDI did the install.

Yes I have all the TRD parts.

Scott8
07-26-2008, 05:21 PM
how much it cost all together with install?

Imperial
07-26-2008, 05:22 PM
$1,661.29

nebster
07-26-2008, 05:26 PM
wow.... thats rediculous man!!!!!

props i guess for spending the money on a mod like that but to me its not worth it

Imperial
07-26-2008, 05:28 PM
LOL! Thanks, I get the same reaction about all my TRD parts.

Scott8
07-26-2008, 05:29 PM
at least they installed it correctly.

I had lambos from VDI but I got rid of them since my car is a DD and the shocks crapped out under 6 months from all the opening and closing. keep an eye on the shocks and get a new set before the 6 month warranty runs out

nebster
07-26-2008, 05:30 PM
yeah i'm not a fan of the trd parts. they're just rebadged parts that they charge a fortune for. decent parts but for the dollar you could do better. EITHER WAY looks good

07-26-2008, 05:31 PM

What a blatant waste of money... research research research and for goodness sake, do it yourself... only respectable way to do it. Anyone with money to blow can get it done for them, and waste hundreds, if not thousands along the way.

I got my JTautostyle hinges (identical design and great quality) and installed them on my tC for less than half that overinflated cost. VDI charges WAY too much for their setup and install, not to mention the rediculous cost of the TRD parts all over.

So sad to see...

Don't mind the look of vertical doors, just hate seeing people naively paying out the nose for things that just plain aren't worth the price.

Cheaper, Better, Faster, and Do it yourself, or Don't do it at all.

Don't knock them just coz you can't afford them.

I can afford them very easily and I think they are very ricey and cheap looking. The first picture says it all. PLAYED OUT!

Now all you need is some spinners to go along with those lambo doors

Imperial
07-26-2008, 07:26 PM
They only charged $100 for the installaion which normally costs $4-500. I don't pretend to know more than I do so no, installing it myself wouldn't have been a good option. Why do it myself when I can afford to have someone do it for me and do it right? Path of least resistance.

Imperial
07-26-2008, 07:29 PM
I earned the money and I'll wipe my ___ with it if I want to. Would it bother you any more to know I had ALL my TRD parts dealer installed?

but i want the vertical doors..

Nick06tC
07-26-2008, 07:40 PM
Im not a fan. But I give props for doing it right. Buying the best and having it dont correctly. Something I agree, do it yourself, but something as important as this install, $100 is well worth it!!!
Sure beats trying to be cheap about it and 2 months later paying to have ti fixed.
So good work, but still dont like them. But oh well!

07-26-2008, 11:57 PM
Hmmm well of what I've heard "not my opinion or experience " kits from 200-2000, they are all the same stuff. like eBay to vertical inc. ppl have said that it all matters of how you install it, that what make it count and worth what you paid for. I don't have custom doors, just sharing information of people i know who has them. but in my opinion, if there is no difference of the products... which i dont know if there is, paying over a grand or two for them is ridiculous. for two grand i think i would want my doors to open & close automatically with a remote "out, up, then down, close." lol

yeah sometimes u get these guys on here that think they know what they are talking bout and really have no clue. he prolly wants lambo doors and is too afraid to get them cause people will make fun of him.

and just FYI, i don't need anyone's approval on what i do to or have done to my car. i love it and i get a LOT of respect from people that don't even like Scions. I place at pretty much every car show i go to (even in the top 50 of a 300 car, hot rod show. if i can get hot rods guys respect when they are all bout being AMERICAN made, i don't give a crap what u think)

As much as I despise "Lambo Doors" and whenever I see them I think of that first picture... It is in fact your car, and you can overspend however much money you want on it...I just hope your $1600 kit doesn't ruin your fender and doors like so many before, who spent $250 all the way to $1600, because the tC's doors are the heaviest doors in all the land as far as the eye can see....

BTW, how do you like your Big Brake Kit, I am possibly getting one. Did it come with the rear disc's as well?

CDogbert
07-27-2008, 10:42 PM
I, personally, would never ever put a vertical door kit on a tC. Our doors are heavier than most things pulled in an Iron Man competition; I can't imagine putting all that weight on a tiny hydraulic is very... healthy.

You know what I want to see? A sliding door kit.

I'm actually gonna be gettin me a set, but wont post pics on here because of too many immature people yelling out rice because my car isnt or doesnt look like theirs.

Okay. This is stupid.

While I agree that there are a small niche of people who could do with a rectalobotomy on this site... seriously people, it's a discussion forum. If you need someone jacking you off for validation's sake every time you do something to reassure yourself that you're not a complete retard, you've come to the wrong place.
