sorry but hell naw!...i would never get those, especially from ebay. you could use that money to buy yourself some nice clothes or help pay off a months rent.

I am just going to say it... you get what you pay for.

Id recommend you get it from a good company like autoloc:

our doors are really heavy, so make sure the mechanism is solid.

Looks like the kit is pretty complete with the wire extensions, wire looms. but plan on spending a little down the road for new shocks since mine on my Vertical Doors INC $1699msrp kit wore out in less then 6 months. $150 for new shocks!!!

I hear you about gettin what you pay for...the only reason I even considered it was because the feedback on the seller. The only negative feedback was for bad communication. There was a buyer that has a Scion tC and said there was just a few mods and the rest was bolt on...

I checked out your link, that 180 degree kit is crazy!

6 months!!??!! For a kit that costs that much you'd expect them to last a little longer...I do agree that our doors are really heavy.

X2 on them lasting longer. Since my car is a daily driver, all the opening and closing wears the shocks down incredibly fast

hmm.. i've seen some of autoloc's products in person..... sometimes they rip you on prices...

making you believe if you pay them more.. that it automatically means the quality is so much better... it's all careful shopping, but don't come to any conclusion quickly

the kit on ebay looks very similar to the VD inc I had. except the VD inc kit only opened 90 degrees so no wire extensions were needed

Do you work on 59? I see a car like yours parked by the new strip mall between Plainfield and Naperville.

there is a video review of a ebay lambo door kit for our tc's on youtube. Watch that and he tells you everything about the kit that isn't good. The kit works, just not as high quality of Vertical Doors Inc.

Here's the link...
