Vertical Doors?

LSD make some of the best one. Your looking about $3.5K onwards, for a good set, that won't sag and drop in a few months time
 
check out sterling accessories online. i've been contimplating getting them and this place sounds good to me so far. still have some homework to do before i jump in to these. good luck.
 
i forgot to ask what kind of car these are going on. somehow i just assumed a vet, sorry bout that. if they are going on a vet i think for about 1695 it's a good deal if they perform the way they say. as for the kit you mentioned for 599 all i can say is with something like this don't look for the cheapest way, you get what you pay for most of the time. so just be careful when buying a product like this, do your homework, which is what you're doing and be sure before you buy.
 
i just checked the site you are referring to and i must say thank you for turning me on to the site, this is one i'll have to look into. they look great and if they perform as well as they say, still a good deal because i've seen prices 2600 and higher. and for that kind of difference in price you wonder why. are they using thicker metal, stronger metal etc., thses are the things you should know before hand. before i buy i'll ask peoplr that have installed these kits firthand what they think are the best ones to buy and go from there. i've been told by afew peole not to put them on the car because you'll get stress cracks eventually. so this is why i'm hesitant to buy them.
 
Why on earth would anyone put "vertical" doors? Wanna be pimped-out but can't afford a Lambo? I don't think there is anything more pathetic than vertical doors installed on a low price car. It screams ghetto.



On a Chevy Cobalt?????:har: :har: :har: :har: :har:

Yea. I want to be different. No one at school has them. I know people can afford them too because everyone has huge rims, nice systems, and there are a couple of really nice cars too.
 
IMO, Verticals/lambos do not belong on any daily driver. Spend your money on go-fast goodies, wheels, electronics, anything else. You will spend $600 on lousy lambos, and no one will know you have them -- until you open your door in the parking lot. That's when people will really LOOK....and LAUGH.



PS> No one at your school has them for this reason.
 
that's your opinion of vertical doors, you know what they say about opinions, they're like ---holes everbody has one. last time i looked i was'nt pthinking of this for your sake cause your opininn does'nt matter to me. have a nice day.
 
blucpe, you need to take it a little easy. No need getting this excited about a thread you didn't even start. When we put something out there on a "discussion" forum, we are idiots if we only want to hear certain opinions and not others; can you think of anything more idiotic?



So here's mine: Vertical doors on a Cobolt would be beyond laughable, but hey, not my dime right?



Here's another: LSD is the only company I know off that does crash tests on all its kits; that is one of the reasons why they are so expensive. So I see no sense in buying something that isn't even guaranteed to protect you should someone decide to T-bone you at an intersection. That is bound to affect your insurance payments too (a smart attorney looks for anything to reduce his client's liability). I would stay as far from such products as possible, but hey, that's just an "opinion".

An opinion is typically what you get when asking a question on a forum.



Also, I've heard lambo doors that sound like crap when they are closed. Not an alignment issue or anything like that, it's just the entire door rattles and has an unappealing clunk when it is closed. That is another thing to consider. I would look into perfomance mods and such more than lambo doors which serve no purpose whatsoever. Also, I just graduated high school, so I know what you are going for.



My advice is be careful with your money. Once you are out, no one cares what you drove and the only one who really knows is you once you are looking at the money you could have had but wasted. Trust me, I have a stereo system in my Jeep to prove it. Of course, that's my "opininn" and it doesn't matter to you.
 
If you're asking on a forum, you obviously care about what others think. The only reason you would get lambo doors on your car (a cobalt??!) is to get people to look at you.

Let's be honest... with every 10 people that see you with those lambo doors, 5 will physically point and laugh. It's that ridiculous.

Yeah, I've been watching this thread for a while but have withdrawn to comment because I don't want to sound like a bratty high school kid. I'm not and this is MY opinion. I've been around the car show scene for quite a while. The ONLY reason to get lambo doors installed on your car are to win points and national concourse events. It also is one of the last things these guys install on their cars. Just because it gets them points and the majority of them don't even like them.



Don't do it. Don't bash people for disagreeing with your opinion because it is all valid. It's a terrible idea and everyone will laugh at you.
 
please accept my sincerest apologies, tou're all right on this one, it's no excuse but i was having a very bad day yesterday, family stuff, and i lashed out here on this forum. i feel terrible about it and again i'm sorry. i really enjoy this site, i've learned so much from all of you i should have thought better of it.

anyway back to the thread, if i did install verts on my vet i would probably only use them at a car show, of which i attend many via my club. you've all got me rethinking that now. thanks for your input.
 
I cannot speak for the particular ones being considered....but in every case I have seen there needs to be serious mods to the rest of the door jamb, hinges cut, etc...all of which would be expensive to fix back to "stock" should you decide they aren't what you want after all.



Plus, the insurance companies may have something to say about a modification that technically changes the way the car protects it's occupants in a collision. You may find out the hard way that you would be responsible.



In the end...do as you like. I only post my thoughts as items that maybe should be considered before going with this install.
 
I've seen so many issues people have with their lambo doors...quality, structure, fitment, rattling and so on....



With that kind of money, I'd rather get a decent set of wheels and ultra high performance tires.
 
blucpe -- no harm taken. They look OK on show cars. I just don't think they are practical on daily drivers -- especially considering the cost. Unless the Neon, Civic, Cobalt is a show car, it would be best to spend the money elsewhere.

In today's litigious society, mods that could even *remotely* be construed as making a vehicle less safe could be a quick way to trash your life. It's probably not the sort of thing a young person immediately considers, but losing a multi-million $ lawsuit isn't something you'd get over in just a few years. And that's just the financial end of it if somebody *else* gets injured, there's always your own safety to consider (and yeah, I *do* remember being young and immortal ;) ).
