Default Worth buying vertical doors for C6

Is it worth buying vertical doors for the C6 for nearly 3000 bucks ? Because i would always have a close call on bumping the door into another car since it is so long and all.

No its not worth it. Just park that baby in the back of the lot so your not around any other cars. Thats the only way to keep your car doors ding & scratch free.

Leave them alone. Don't trash out the car.

It would cost more time and money to get the lambo doors than it would to fix anything that happens. Besides, having lambo doors doesn't keep anyone from hitting your doors when they get out of their car.

You just wrote in another thread that you don't actually have a car yet, much less your license, and now you are asking if you should get vertical doors for the C6?

Why the hell would you park so close to others with a C6?
