[TomTom]

Topic...

I belive I am going to get them either way, but just wanted some open critism
Forgot to mention there power assisted..

[M_Power]

Althought some people dont like lambo doors because of the look i find them a pain for functionality. Actually getting in with these doors is a pain since the door almost hits ur face on the way in and is hard to pull down once ur in the seat.

[Lennon]

Agreed. Aesthetically, absolutly, but if your going to be using your car everyday, they ARE a pain, know a few people who have had it done, and wish they never did. Just a heads up.

[SleeperD]

they look good when they are up.......but if your noting going to be driving around with them up ....then save your self the trouble...just a show thing...pluse arent they kinda hard to get right....i have heard of alot of people that have to keep doing it and doing it.....and its like a 2000 job sooo....mite be a little bit of a pain

[turbo_equiped]

i think they look really sweet!!
my brother wants to get them on his 325is...

Which series 325? E30? E36? Depends what body, and who will do it, and how much.... Hope its not the E30... looks like ass when people do it to that one.

i know that bolt on V-doors usually go for around $2000, and those are the ones u want, i think they are the easiest to install, and less problems to........i think probably any import tuner shop in calgary can get them for u.

[Lennon]

I think Nurburgring is your best shot for that kinda install in Calgary, if not, talk to Rob over at Tunerworks, see what he has to say about it.

[turbo_equiped]

hmmmm ic
thanks for the suggestions..
by the way..so is it like $2000 per door or for both doors??
its a 2 door..
not really sure what "E" that is..
but its a BMW 1998 325IS

[sunfiredude]

i say do them, i think eventually i will be upgrading to a set of vertical doors, what kit are you getting?

i see that Decah door kits are very popular and are bolt on kits, might want to check into that as well, unless you already have a kit lined up

[sexualbanana]

It depends on how you feel. Illusionsir has guillotine doors. They're cool as hell, but you never realize how heavy a door really is until you have to open that door.

[Illusionsir]

sexualbanana is right, they look awesome, but what a pain in the ass to get in and out of, as said before, unless you dont drive your car much, i really wouldnt suggest doing them...

IMO no. no no no. no. the car will most likely get heavier with that kind of mod, and though it may or may not look good, its basically useless. IMO if its not a lambo or delorean or alike, then no vert. doors,

[Redlyne_mr2]

Gay gay mod especially on an ff car. If it was midengine maybe but it's your car so it's ultimately your decision. good luck

[Gonthro]

if you ask me openign a lambo style door it just like sticking your hand in the air and yelling to everyone "i put too much money in to this car, please steal it"

[kkcool6]

I had a set, put it on for bout two weeks and took them off. They were just too much of a pain to get in and out off. Get the VDC they're really easy to install. I did mine in bout 3hr both doors. One more thing when the doors are up they're pretty flimsy so If a chinook wind catches the door while they're ???. Good luck if u wanna do it. Think hard before hand. They do look sweet but at what price? both in $$ and functionality?

[GT2NV]

i think it would be cool, especially if your all about show

[jaylo]

it looks cool, but just spend it on other modification. IMO it's a waste. I would rather just spend it on a japanese front end instead

[Seanith]

I'd say no. For that kind of money theres A LOT you can buy. BTW does your car have the "cali thunder" front on it?
