Larry's s2000 has verticle doors.

I like them, though I agree it looks odd on a convertible, I'd prefer wing doors like Enzo and McLaren-

I've seen Winged doors before.... but they looked REALLY flimsy. Like the door goes out a bit first (and as it goes out, it sorta flaps a bit... like back and forth, as if it isn't very secure) then upwards.

I'm sure not all conversion kits are like that, but it CERTAINLY wasn't like Lambo's doors...which open up real smooth... gliding upwards. This just look awkward, probably because it needed to go out about 2-3 inches first, then go up, and as i said it looked "flimsy". I definitely think it would compromise the structural integrity.

What it boils down to is: 1. Expensive, 2. Unreliable, 3. Inconvenient... and the one that you should be most concerned with:

4. For every one person who compliments you on the conversion, I predict there will be 10 more standing around laughing their asses off at what a stupid idea it was. Of course, ricers seem to have a facility for ignoring the "haters," so maybe this would be no problem for you. Have fun.

Does anyone know the term SARCASM on this forum. All i wanted to know is what you guys thought of the idea. Honestly i really don't care what you have to say. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you do, thats good for you. Hey damcgee don't waste your time.. Your comment is third grade and low class. Grow up!!! and take it like a man...

Hi jo-v i think these door are not a good idea at all .
Now your above message .WOW.First of all you requested
what we think of these doors .So in order to tell you
we have to convert thought into the written word.
Along with that comes subjective information .
You may need to mature a bit so you can accept subjective
thought .Afterall you asked on top "i want to know what you
guys think "now you are all upset as you were told .maybe you didn't want to know .these doors have been in the industry for years with no success

I'm SURE you guys are slandering this person for spelling Ferrari wrong
...I wonder how you made it this far into car-dom without being abole to spell Ferrari or Valet.
You may want to invest in a dictionary yourself. What does abole mean Lighten up people. I feel like we're on a Supra forum with people arguing who has more f*cking money. This isn't a spelling bee. Jeese!

HUH? WHAT?

I sure hope that you can read our minds, since you want our thoughts but don't care what we have to say.

I'll give you a hint at what my thoughts are on the subject of upward swinging doors on a convertible....

rhymes with please
but starts with a "ch"

hope that you could track with me on that one.
