Lots of people have bought lots of products from apex, me included. I can't speak for the vertical door kits though.

Apex is the best retailer I have dealt with. You can't go wrong using them but I have no opinion about the door kit since I haven't seen it.

Agreed...purchased most my suspension stuff through them and customer service is top notch...updated regularly on things that were not shipping right away and manufacturer delays...i dont think they would offer something that wasnt up to par with their standards...
I didnt order the doorkit, but i was going to id probably order theough them |

If its from Apex then it must be good.
These door kits look like they are model specific so no Ebay generic kits, = good Bolt on, as opposed to cut and weld= good Have you ever tried vertical doors? The novelty wears off pretty quick. The Camaro has long, heavy doors, so when people get in your car they tend to let the doors kinda slam when they get to the bottom of their arc= not good for the door kit or frame. The hinges that make the vertical doors work= big and heavy

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Like Spartan mentioned, Vertical Doors kits are the top of the line when it comes to these kinds of kits. They are engineered specifically for the car and do not require you to chop up your car to install them. This is why we offer ONLY this kit and not any other.

As Chase said, if you look at the history of the industry, back in the mid 200's there were several companies offering these kits, and all the cheap ebay Chinese junk.
Now, there is pretty much Vertical Doors, and that is really about it. They are top notch, and bolt in, so it is an extensive install, but not that hard. The main issues though are that the Camaro has an A pillar, while a Lamborghini does not. So in a real Lamborghini, the door just goes straight up. In a car with an A pillar, the door must slide sideways first to clear the A pillar, then it can go up. This amount is also tunable.

Could car less about the vert doors but Apex is +1 as a great aftermarket company to deal with.
