Not to mention the doors would be pretty heavy lifting them up and down. Especially on a firebird.

Well, i just heard from Verticle doors inc. They dont open any wider than that on firebirds so, looks like theyre coming off. No extensions needed after all. So theyll be for sale if anyones interested!

sorry to hear about them not working, but you said you live in cali where its busy? yet the pics look like there from a grape vineyard miles away from town.
secondly, you hate when people park next to you and scratch your car or your hit your door on there car.... dude i wouldnt park my daily driven ranger next to that car afraid yours will catch fire or the owner would try to get into my car.. just a thought. and im still laughing at this whole thread, did you really invest 2500 dollars into that???

that doesnt look like work to me, looks like a 13 year old kid got a hammer, nails hack saw, bondo and some lambo doors and made his car "custom" more like custom piece of ****.

Well, i figured some of you may appreciate the latest pics. I slapped on the body panels to answer a clearance issue question. Since i decided to take them off, these are probably the only chance youll have to see what it would have looked like completed! Sorry about the quality, my digital died and i had to grab my celly.
My parents are farmers. We live inside our orchards. Seems rural but its near sacramento. We are out to ourselves but only 3 miles from town. Right down around the corber like 500 feet is a huge housing track and a school district, Just beyond that is town. We're kind of the last orchards left everything around us got cut down for housing. California lost a lot of produce, and now all those houses are standing empty.
My car looks like that because in order to put the new hinges on, you have to take off the front bumper and fender. If you read my thread, i wasnt finished with the install. I was still pondering keeping them or taking them off. The last pictures, the body panels are still just hanging from the frame, not screwed in. If you read my post you would have seen the part where i said i grabbed my stock rollers just to get itout to snap a pic. Wheres the bondo? I dont see any bondo. I dont think bondos required to instal a metal hinge.
I DID not invest $2500! Again, if you read before posting an ignorant response, i got a great deal on them becuase of a situation with the company and the camaro they were intended for.

That wouldnt worry me, i have SFC and soon a Wolfe 8 point frame that ties into them. Its still the same doors, bolted to the same place on the car. I would assume them hanging 3 feet from the car would put more downward tension on the bolts than all the weight being balanced above them.

Cut door connector with a length of wire.
Cut chassis connector with a length of wire.
Solder together so your car connects to the junkyard door connector which is soldered to the junkyard chassis connector which plugs into your door connector.
There's your extension.

I dont know how you got that impression, but they worked perfectly. I'm taking them off becuase they dont open as high up as i thought they would. I'm 6'3" 240lbs and im just too big to be trying to get around them the way i have to. I was under the impression that they opened 90 degrees is why i installed them. But they don't and with my size its just as hard to get out of my car with these as it was with regular doors. In cramped spaces i mean.

how about you just dont park around people if ur a squeezing into parking spaces. You are the same guy that would post up about ur car getn dinged or scratched because you cant walk 2 more feet.
You cant honestly expect to come on here and expect people to give you good advice. I have seen enough of them in the past years on fuckn civics and imports to make me hate them on real lambos. There is no functionality about this. The shocks go bad often, these doors are fuckn heavy and long.

thanks for trying to help i really appreciate it, however, i contacted the manufacturer and they said theres only one setting and thats as far as it opens on firebirds.
