Thanks

You know, I typically don't like vertical door kits on cars but they look right at home on the stingray. I am also interested in knowing if anyone has done this.

I'd put an Eckler Can Am kit on before I did this to mine

I see no entering/exiting advantage
just looks dumb
waste of 800 dollars if you ask me

The windows are difficult enough to make seal and stop from rattling; I coud imagine the compound this would add to an already existing problem.

I'd say it would be easier to get into the car with the door close then with the door 'open'
