Default Vertical Door on C6!

What you guys think on vertical door for C6? (aka lamborghini doors). I am thinking of installing on my C6 & according to the guy I talked to, it is reversible incase I don't like it. I thought about it for feature,looks, & convinience, especially getting gas & opening my C6 door almost hit the guard rail. I also have a small/narrow garage and this would help if the door opens vertical....Any thoughts or Bad idea?, or I'll just stick with the original doors. thanks in advance

I've seen them on a C6 and they are not for me, but if you like the lambo look and want to be different then do it. To me they are a bit to ricer since that seems to be the big crowd that are doing the lambo door things. I have seen about 5 ricer cars in my small city already with them. The biggest thing is, its your car so you have to do what you want to do. One thing I believe, Lambo doors look best on the cars that come from the factory with them because the design concept of the entire vehicle exterior was intended for those types of doors to be used.

First, do not attempt to really accept the sales persons statement.

Second, if you want these doors, go for it.

Third, a lot of C5's went this route - most are now FS as the doors, after awhile, are a PITA.
