did anyone ever install their own doors? DIY?

 

Yes, it wasn't that bad of an install as long as your somewhat mechanically inclined. Got rid of mine after about nine months though.

 

why did u get rid of them? problems?

 

yea, why did you get rid of them? doesnt it make it worse changing it back to standard doors, after the fender cutting and all?

 

I had mine 6 months, then sold them. I do miss them. the fenders are fine as long as you line it up, and primer where you cut so it doesn't rust.

My shocks started to fade on the Vertical door kit and luckily I was under warranty by 3 days and got shocks sent out for free. otherwise they would have been $150 for the shock.

Looks really cool, but on a daily driver you will kill the shocks pretty fast.

 

was it easy to install? can u do a demonstration? like drawing and stuff? (hopefully pictures)

 

look on Vertical doors inc website. they have the instructions on there.

it's easy if you know how to work on cars. it took me and a buddy 2 hours to do the first door. then the second was less then 45mins

 

dont most doors open out to the first stop? if so than you can just use that for daily driving and lift them for show when you want?

 

^^^ if you can fit through the little opening

 

why wouldnt I be able to fit? I never open my doors farther than the first stop, parking is always tight around here. And I have plenty of room to move in and out of the car without and hassle.

 

^exactly. If anything lifting the doors up will help in stopping me from kicking the door panel when exiting the car. Other than that I exit out of the car just fine from the first stop. For door kits that do go vertical as in 90* look at GT Factory and Autoloc(first to have a 120* kit). Of course these would be better to have a professional install as they are weld on kits.

 

it all depends on how big and tall you are. I am 6 foot 220lbs. so i would end up hitting my head on the corner of the door.

if you are smaller, probably no problem getting in and out. if you open them up and down everyday a lot, the shocks will wear quicker. not a huge deal but it will cost some money to replace

 

you 2" taller than me, if I spike my hair than we're the same height, not sure about weight, I have to go weight myself, I dont consider myself a small guy

 

the car door always makes you look bigger

also, my wifes big badunk had a hard time getting in and out on the first notch

 

do you really think im small, short and skinny lol


6' 220 pounds, I dont think would be an issue, Im shorter than you and weigh more I think?
I must be like 240 ish.

I might be the exception to the rule than, lucky me. I can get out of the the car with the first stop.

yes!

 

I am sure you can do it. it just gets annoying after a little time doing it.

240ish.. that's pretty big, especially for 2 inches shorter!

All legal? or did you stick the butt with a needle
