Default scissor doors on ebay...real or scam?

what do you guys think of this ebay offer? sounds like a pretty good deal...but it might be too good to be true? they do offer lifetime warranty though...

They have some negative feedback, but seem on the up and up...

Despite everyones feelings on whether scissors belong on tC's, you could take a chance on these.

It's just hard, knowing that every other major kit is signifigantly more expensive... I wonder how they undercut the price. You are right to be cautious.

These sometime take immense adjustment to fit right and see the earlier posts about people getting burned by kits that were not perfectly exact.

I'm a fan of saving money. But I will not sacrifice safety for it... I would want to see these (this brand) on a car before buying them outright.

I've had the same offer, but I agree with you breakaway. The price break still does bring down the price for me to sign a sponsorship deal.

looking at the pictures on ebay, the door is opened all the way with the fender off. how far will it open with the fender on??

seems like a good price, and a good warranty, but we all know the warranty is only as good as the paper its written on.

All they seem to sale are LAMBO style doors. Now, they have had virtually ZERO negative feedbacks on their doors in the last year. Now that has got to say something.

Personally, I am having a hard time deciding on getting these doors or putting 600 into a tint, springs, etc.

If you look at their feedback, you'll notice that around 75% of their sales are for replacement scissor door shocks... and some for HID kits. I asked them about that, as it seems like many people needed new shocks... (Does that mean they fail a lot?)

They didn't respond to my question though... Which bummed me out... I'm interested, but want to know the answer.

Plus, I'd only buy if I could get feedback from someone who got one... too much money to spend on something I don't know about.

Finnally got word back from them.... This is their response...

Sorry for the late reply we are very busy these few weeks. Yes you are right most of our feedback is shock only. We set up the ebay to sell only shock at the beginning but recently we just added door kit onto our sales. The shock will not last forever because shock will fail on you. I cannot tell you how long will the shock last, it depend on how heavily you use the door. Our kit warranty the shock for 6 months so if you have any problem with the shock we will replace it for you. I can not give you much feedback on the scion tc becasue we just got the kit in last month.

Looks like a non-native english speaker is the seller, so I wonder if they are based out of the US or what... It's a bummer to hear about the shocks though...
