I'm not tryin' to pee in your cheerios here, but before you let yourself get too excited, best I can tell all you get for your $50 is INSTRUCTIONS on how to convert your car to "lambo" doors - nothing else - no hinges, no other parts, no nothin'. Just some instructions.

Here's what it says on the "order now" page:

PRODUCT: Vertical Door Conversion Kit

DESCRIPTION: This kit includes a Do-it-Yourself step by step instruction manual and a supplemental cd on how to convert your existing car doors into vertical scissor doors.

SPECIAL PRICE: $49.99USD

If I'm readin' the site wrong I apologize, but I don't think I am. Look at it again and see if you can find anywhere where it says you get anything other than instructions for yer money. The instructions may be "cheap", but the actual conversion may cost you a small fortune...

I have taken the plunge...
I am scheduled to have the doors installed on the 22nd of November.
I have decided to go with GT Factory's Diablo Door Kit.
I will be having the Manufacture Gt Factory doing the install. In helping me make my decision I, like others have asked many of the same questions, can I still open the doors the normal way, can I return the car to stock, how difficult will it be to close the doors from the upright postion and will they give me more access room?
It was there response to the "difficultly of closing door" that helped me make my mind up. Wes thanks for your psoting on the difficulites you experienced and that gave me much concern.
Wes, I hope you don't mind me using your response to see how GT Factory dealt with this issue. The following response was given to me by GT Factory after I gave them a link to this topic, they did not have any problems with me posting the response. (good advertising as well).

Again thanks to all of you for helping me make up my mind.

You are welcome to post the following info on the net to inform the other forum members.

Unfortunately Weswman chose our competitors kit.
To clarify some things about the nitrogen gas lifts that come with the GT Factory kit:
The lifts are powerful because the doors weight is leveraged against the lifts.
The type of lift is the same as any hatchback, and replacements or custom pressures
can be found at your local auto parts store.
Typical car Doors actually weigh 50-80lbs each.
The Diablo system ships with two 150lb lifts per side totaling 300lbs of force.
If the gas springs are pushing way too hard because the prowler door is extremely light, then an easy solution would be to use only one gas lift per side. These are options that are unavailable to you with other kits out there because they have a special lift designed only for use with their kit and getting replacements and alternate pressures is like pulling teeth.

Attached are pictures of our kit installed on the prowler.
The other kits on the market can not compare to GT Factory's Diablo systems superior list of features:
And nobody can beat our new low price of $999 + shipping and install.
Unlike the other door conversions, The Diablo system is
-Engineered to be three times stronger
-Designed for a universal fit and a quick install
-covered under a limited lifetime warranty
-the only kit on the market that goes 90 degrees vertical
-keeps doors straight up instead of hanging to the side
-Dual nitrogen gas lifts for each door rated at 300lbs of force
-has four infinitely adjustable points for the look and fit you want
-100% CNC machined 4130 chromoly steel construction
-Nickel plated for corrosion protection and show quality looks
-maintains factory safety and accessories
-Free install CD-Rom with over 130 high rez pictures
