Default Vertical doors.

I'm thinking about putting vertical door kit on my car. I want the door to open normally everyday but go vertical at shows. I have been trying to find the LDS vertical door system but no luck. Anyone know a supplier.

Thanks, Laurence

You mean the LSD doors?Ive been looking at kits to,but they are awfully expensive.Their is a company on ebay selling kits for about 500 but wont even show a pic of it. They said that they are afraid somebody might copy it.

That's a bunch of Be careful buying a $500.00 door kit . It's probably a POS.

in my opinion, but your car so whatever blows your skirt up, watch out for scams, you get what you pay for, do your homework and you should be ok

I purchased mine through Gary King at (www.gridesinc.com) Had good customer support. You might give them a try. I also remember a group purchase was going around a while back on the LSD doors on the forum but it's probably over by now. I agree with the past post. There is a lot of junk out there. LSD are not cheap but they are a quaility product and the only ones that I would consider using.

Thanks for the info. I only want a system that will open both ways. I know it will cost more but you get what you pay for.

Give Bill at www.CreativeEngine Covers.com a call at 804-763-6288.
I understand he has just become a dealer for LSD doors.

You have to open and close them like they were egg shells or you could cause costly damage to the area around the door locks. The nice kits are costly. Sorry not a big fan...

Hideous. Nothing else to say.
