Nope...

If I did I would make my own anyhow ;)

Im not sure if Im going to keep the beretta. I think it has some major engine/tranny issues... So not going to mess with it if thats true...

hey dont you need a set for the beretta?

by Ryan from Ohio » Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:17 am

lol...

Well you guys give it a try. Let the rest of us know how it goes :)

I'm telling ya, pass. There is a reason why our shop doesn't do them. Have fun dedicating a whole day to a set of lambo doors.

i think if they are adjusted right it dosnt take much to pull them down, also i think you would want to start to pull them down when you start to sit down so its lower.

by Ryan from Ohio » Mon Aug 08, 2005 6:11 am

Well give it a try then. I seen a kid at a gas station with them. Looked like a pain in the arse to pull down then your in the car...

ya they are actually built really good, they have needle bearing instead of a bolt through a metal bracket and stainless steel gas shock. and most of them come with a wire harness extetion so you dont have to mess with that. and around here no one does them at all, i have never seen a car in person that has them and i have been to some really big car shows.

the vertical door kiots we are looking at have a lifetime warranty

by Justin from Detroit1 » Sun Aug 07, 2005 7:18 pm

HAHA I sold that kit. They are a god damn waste of money. Now that vertical doors have been out for a while, we finally get to see their life span. Go to any car show, and there will be tons of cars with vertical doors, and they are usually crap. even the direct bolt ons turn to crap. Here is a statistic for ya : THE AVERAGE LIFE SPAN OF A VERTICAL DOOR HINGE IS 8 MONTHS. After that, they start dropping, and wobbling back and forth.

As for 2-3 per door, no way. Unless you install them ALL DAY EVERY DAY, it will EASILY take you 7-8 hours PER DOOR. That is NOT being unreasonable. Plus, you need 3 guys to do it. don't forget, you have to EXTEND ALL THE FACTORY WIRING AND SHAVE THE FENDER.

All in all, they are a huge pain in the ass, and not worth the cost or labor. Going rate to install is around $1000 for a direct bolt on kit. I've only heard of a few shops willing to do it for less.

by Ryan from Ohio » Sun Aug 07, 2005 7:03 pm

Im not sure if he got them installed yet or not. But I know hes got the kit.

I would give a guestimate for direct bolt ons of 2-3 hours and $50/hr shop labor.

I would express that its a ball park figure and the charge will be hourly.
