Default Lamborgini Doors for Scion tC

Hey guys question for you, im picking up the rs 1.0 tC very shortly. My name is already on it, and im just waiting for it to enter my dealership. But what im looking for and cant seem to find is lamborgini doors. I mean I have found some because they are everywhere, but I dont know which ones are the best. Which ones are the strongest to hold the type of door I have. Im not really big on cars, or car parts. Im just starting to get into the game now that Im selling scions myself so any help would be appriciated. I am also looking at putting a carbon fiber hood but I dont know which ones are the best. If anyone could answer me this question that would be great. Thank you very much guys!

Peck!

I have the VIS Carbon hood on my tC which is great. I sell that hood plus the Kaminari hood people have been loving. The Kaminari hood has the reverse vent, and I have two more on order now, one is already sold. I also sell the Vertical Doors kit from Vertical Doors Inc. you can check their site for pics, and PM me or AIM me for the price. Its not on my site yet, but will be soon. From what I hear Vertical Doors is a great company that sells quality stuff, but I can't say I have first hand experience with there kits.

Kepp in mind that they will almost definitely sag. Then you will re-adjust, they will sag.. etc. I wouldnt put them on something you plan to drive all the time

Verticle doors look cool if you plan on doing your ride up for shows, but not a good idea for a daily driver. The doors on the tC are way too long and heavy. They are better fitted for a truck or car with doors that are not as long. What engifineer said is right. They WILL sag. I have seen too many guys having to lift the bottum of the door to get it to shut. Don't waste your money. Take that $1000 and get some killer rims or some power mod. Just my opinion.

Exactly. Anyone who isn't a ricer or highschool kid is going to look at your doors and roll they're eye's.

So you guys are saying that I shouldnt put the vertical doors on my car?

Well thank you for your input, I never knew that doors like that would sag, so i guess i have some second thoughts on the doors now. Thanks.... As soon as I have some money saved up Ill send you a PM or hit you up on AIM FLINT... Thanks everyone for your input, its helped a lot.

I also think that vertical/lambo doors are for show only... I seen one at the dealership w/ this mod on it and to me it seemed you needed to vertically challenged or paper thin to get in. Me the more circle shaped type at 6ft tall would have mucho problemos with this mod.

definetly. my door checks make noise anytime i park on someplace that has an angle. the doors are so long and that means weight. your asking for trouble.

if you're tall, forget it. think about how many times you'll have to hunch over or bang your head

you could always suicide them but a lot of people tend to not like that on a 2 door car.

for a grand you could always:

-buy gold plated floor mats for more show and less chance of sag.
-install a nasty flip-out headunit w/ nav
-buy a 6 month CD and make some interest
-become a baby loan shark
-buy lots of jada toys import racer xB's
-suicide the doors
-shave the handles and make em pop via remote
-send a check to (pm for address)
-do pretty much anything but the non-ending money pit of lambo doors.
