Default Diablo type doors?

Saw an ebay item to convert a corvette's doors to the flip up type. What do you think? Cool?

Two answers, maybe three They are very expensive kits and regardless what the advertising says, they're not reversable. Cost is aroung $2600 plus installation. Second, if not "trained" in how to close them, they can really damage the side of the car. Don't have them but a good friend does. Her's is mostly a show car, and she sure wins lots of ribbons!
