do vertical doors or no? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Those who are voting against I'd like an opinion to like bad reviews or just because would help thanks I'm trying to get as much input as possible because they cost so much

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 love and hate vert doors, Imo Not on a camaro.

IBM camaro · 01-05-2013, 09:09 AM

Here is the reason why I want these doors to show my one off interior at car shows

camaro_RS · 01-05-2013, 09:16 AM

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.

IBM camaro · 01-05-2013, 09:18 AM

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.

Well I'm gonna use the vertical door kit from VDI

Magilla gorilla · 01-05-2013, 02:42 PM

I don't care for the vertical door's myself......but everybody has different likes.....so if you like them....get em!!........

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.
