It's more a preference thing! Some will say its rice looking. Verticals doors with Lupe installing is no bad reviews. Just do it and buy me lunch later!! The only draw back I can see is taking your car in for oil changes or like this morning sitting outside typing this at discount tire. Got a nail in tire but have to make sure shop guys don't jerk door open. I always stay with mine.

Thanks for the input how do you feel about my spoiler? It's got the t3 stripes in carbon over it? Do you think it's rice? I'm having mixed feelings about it today lol.

I say do it, man. From what I hear you can open them regularly when you want to as well and you don't have to "Lambo" it up when you're at the grocery store or school or something. Ha.

Seconded Delorean style but that's major construction work as the doors are frameless from the the window up.

As for the poll and OP.

I say go for it. It's your car and it will still open 3/4 or so the normal way and you gain the vertical style.

that's not exactly true, depending on the kit they do swing out a bit but Not anywhere near as much as the stock does, remember you are entirely replacing the stock hinges. I'd highly suggest looking at one that has them installed and find out what kid they used.

Whenever anyone asks this question I always feel obligated to mention the dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors found on Koenigseggs. You get a very similar result, but the way the doors open is just SO much cooler.
