Default Door Openers for Car Shows

Hey Guys,

Ive seen some guys have a bar in their doors that hold the doors open for car shows, but also lock in place to turn off the interior lights.

Does anyone know where to get these?

Thanks!

A lot of money for something one could make pretty easy for a lot less money.

I have won many car shows. You should be aware that some shows take a dim view door bars. I used one once and points were deducted.
I still won but I stopped using the bar.
It's up to you .
Good luck.

I've attended a lot of car shows over the years and never seen the need for those items. At many of the shows I've been to there is very little room between cars and opening the doors does not allow sufficient room for spectators to pass between cars. Just my $0.02.

Default Car Shows

I stopped doing car shows after my AC dust caps were stolen and in another case my Chrome oil cap was lifted as well. The worst was someone at a show was wiping the cars with Mustard. Had enough!

I don't understand why people do stuff like this. There is a sickness in society these days and it's called nobody has any respect for others or their belongings.


I have started going to what are called "cruise-ins"...they are like car shows, but without the competition...it's just a place where people with nice cars gather to share and discuss their love for the hobby...I really enjoy them, but I will enjoy them even more when I finally get my C5...

It's nothing new. Back in the old days I've had shift *****, 8 track players, hub caps, tires and even whole cars stolen. Society has always had thieves.
