Do an advance search on this subject. From what I remember you have to trim the front fenders and the doors don’t operate like you think they would. I think they swing out like they would normally (but not as far) then rise up. So if you have a passenger they may not be able to operate the door properly and could damage them when they try and close them (at least that what I read a while back).

Not my cup of tea, many forum members hate anything not performance oriented or too rice so watch your self.

I feel it your ride - do what you will.

I must warn you, PLEASE be sure you are absolutely ready for a kit before purchasing it...you will drop around $3000 for one. Yes they are "unique" and yes they look good when open, but be aware that I have not read a single thread on this forum saying that an install when smoothly and the fit was perfect...that applies to ANY brand...(vertical doors, Gt Factory, etc) I had a horror story w/ GT factories because of the installer...I'm not going to bore you with it here, but this is the link to the recent thread in case you are interested in details here

Once again, there is plenty more you can put the 3 G's into (engine performance) that will not be a potential hassel to you....Good luck and I'm open to any questions...

Nick
