Would like to see how high this kit goes, the kit on evilzo6's car seems like its almost impossible to get out of the car. Evil zo6, want to post some pics of that hatch(from inside too maybe)? Im very unsure of what I think of it, in the pictures you posted it looks great, in others, not so much.

The picture of my car is with the door at its tallest setting, right in the way!!! Thats why i didnt keep them. My hatch looks good but others dont? Or mine looks good in some pics but not others? Mine is molded on which a lot of people dont do, and i think most people who own them have camaros which it looks terrible on IMO. I dont have any inside pics ill take some.

My pics are in this thread but i do need to take some more.

That does indeed look rather easy to get in and out of. Only reason I'd consider them is cause I'm about 6'1 and its rather hard to get in and out of the car if I can't open the door to far. My only concern is that I have a Camaro. I think I read somewhere that the fender hits the mirror on the Camaros?

yes the fender gets in the way of the mirror. But all you have to do is trim it about an inch if you really want it. But if it was me, i'd trim it all the way off and buy some firebird mirrors

Well, the only part that will need adhesive will be the dash and im not doing that part myself!! But i think the best stuff is the two part that you mix and then spray out of a paint gun like as if you were planning on painting the car with glue. We used that in autobody and it really works!!!

I was actually considering that. Regardless of the vertical door situation, of course. For some reason I think it might look better. Kinda hard to say since I've never seen it done.
