I've heard of many horror stories about them on corvettes on corvetteforum.com. Fittment issues and alignment issues, etc. Also I heard there is a special way to shut them and if someone else tries to shut them that doesn't know how they work they could easily damage them. Thats why I haven't done it to my Vette. (oh- and the PRICE 
) I'd figure that the f-body doors would be even worse since they are considerably heavier than a vette door. But good luck to you. I want to see pics too when its all said and done.

The doors will be opened and closed with hydraulics, the gentleman doing them has done a few on vettes an several other vehicles.
From what he says the kit is very well built and came recomended by him (thats how I found the website)
If all goes well he should start on it soon.

cicerofire - Ya don't worry about those negative coments and if someone keeps giving you problems, save the PM's and we can take care of it. I'm still 50/50 if I'd do them on my car, seems kinda neat but pricey. Good luck.

Once it is done, see if there is any problems getting in and out of it. Have some taller people try like 6'4" or so. I would hate to do this to my car and have to crane my head more to get into my car. If they go up far enough would be my only concern.

One thing I hate about my car are the damn 747 wings for doors. Like many others, the price is out of my league but I do think it looks cool. As has been said, ignore the losers who can't resist sharing their overly negative opinions.
Being 6'3", smacking my noggin might be a problem.

Funny you should ask. I just saw earlier to day that there is a a sponsor on LS1.com that has the doors for the f-body.

Unfortunately for the camaro's, they require reshaping of the front fenders for the mirror to clear.

If I ever get ahold of a fbody anytime soon I would do the door kit too. I love way they look and look on everyone elses faces when the door go up instead of out. lol have fun with it. And keep us posted
the guy who started the thread over there said he could get us a GP on them for a decent price but we cant get enough interest. lets hear it guys i know there are like 25 threads started by different people on here wanting the doors so lets see you step up so we can get this GP.
