Doors on upswing among car enthusiasts?

02/22/2006, 5:10 PM

By admin

USA Today has published a look at the growing demand for Lamborghini-style scissor doors among car customizers. Specifically, the article focuses on Vertical Doors, a company that sells upgrade kits for many car models to achieve the scissor effect. The kits consist of the hinges and a gas-filled shock that acts like a spring to make heavy doors easy to open or close. The company now has them for more than 100 models. They retail from $1,399 to $6,500 — the higher-priced units going to luxury cars, which can be more complicated — and generally cost another $500 to $2,000 to have installed. [via]

Those doors won’t suit just any car.

I would get them… they’re cool and I’m one step closer to owning an actual Lambo.

Vertical doors can be more practical than swinging ones. Go for it.

Whoop-de-do….everyone wants to be a pimp. I hate this pimped-out crap. Rates just behind neon undercarriage lighting and spinners.
