Default Considering Vertical Doors way off in the future...

Anyone know where in the valley I can get them installed? Or how much the labor would be on them? I may be able to get a good deal through a friend's dad I just wanna know what I'm getting into first...

my personal opinion is recommending AGAINST vertical doors if it's a daily driver. Once you remove the doors they will NEVER line up again the same.

dont do it man, the last thing you want is your car to look like that honda lol. like scotty j said, they will never line up the same again. and there is nowere in az to have it done even reasonably priced. i was considering it about a year ago and im glad i didnt, my buddy had the best kit out (gt factory, full 90 degrees) and they were still crap. i was gunna drive to cali to have it done. jtautostyle does them for around 900 installed i think. everyone here wants at least 1500 for install alone.

its turboed, it better be quick no matter what size wheels are on it. i was just messing around. its just a thing i have against hondas, ive talked to him on the road and he seems like a cool guy, but to dump all that money into a honda, and an automatic at that, just doesnt make sense to me, but to each his own obviously. we all catch crap for doin what we do to our cars as well. no harm meant, just a honda joke. but back on topic, you really dont wanna mess with that on a daily driver, i had one of those doors on my buddys old civic break welds and fall on my shoulder, not fun. and he hated the doors. they never lined up right and the hinges rusted fast. if you are planning on having it done in az its gunna run at least 1500 with a hook up. with out a hook up, close to 3gs. id consider a turbo or custom paint or body kit for that kinda cash. youll get alot more looks at shows with something like that. but like i said, to each his own, thats just my opinion on it.

Haha alright perhaps I'll leave the vertical doors alone then. He got all those parts through sponsorships, he didn't put very much money into the car himself hardly at all. He did build his own exhaust (until he got the greddy evo II cat back) and installed the cold air intake himself.
